Reviews
All Music Guide Review by Tim Sendra:

Stereolab's Ping Pong EP from 1994 features the marvelous title track, which is taken from one of their better albums, that same year's Mars Audiac Quintet. The EP's title track is a marvelously light and bouncy (musically anyway, the lyrics are as political as ever) song with an inventive horn arrangement by the High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan and charming second vocals by Mary Hansen. "Moogie Wonderland," apart from the witty title, is a trudging bit of filler piled high with Moogie sound effects and trademark vocal "ba-da-ba"s from the female segment of the group. "Pain et Spectacles" is a peppy track, pretty standard with some nice Moog work and more fabulous vocals from Hansen. The last track is a live-in-the-studio version of "Transona Five" that sounds very much like the album version but has a slightly tougher sound and gives a good feel for how the band sounds in a live setting. This is a very fine EP and none of the songs appear on the Switched On series.
