Very
rare and very experimental early 80s electronics from Germany in
Kraftwerk's style. Apart from being Klaus Bloch's project name, the 'A
La Ping Pong' phrase was what he called his tape delay system, which was
in essence his variation on the Frippertronic system. His two albums as
such bridged ambient and Krautrock instrumental styles akin to Fripp
& Eno, Harmonia, etc..
"Hiding
behind the moniker of 'A La Ping Pong', Klaus Bloch was a talented
amateur guitarist who broke on to the independent scene in a small way
in the early '80s. Apart from being the project name, the 'A La Ping
Pong' phrase was what he called his tape delay system, which was in
essence his variation on the Frippertronic system. Klaus Bloch went on
to make two very different albums. The first [Phase I] featured a highly
inventive music featuring more recognisably 'Frippertronic' style
guitar looping and delays, with multi-tracking and electronics, often
comparable to Manuel Göttsching's echo and delay guitar work, early
Heldon, or Camera Obscura. Then, in contrast, Phase II took a diversion
to Kraftwerk styled electro-pop blending with Frippian touches"
