- "Ponga was a 90s electronic/improvisational West Coast band that had 3 records on Loosegroove, Stone Gossard's label (he of Pearl Jam). It featured Skerik on saxophones and electronics, Dave Palmer on keyboards, Wayne Horvitz on organ, and Bobby Previte on drums."
One of those things that is just the sort of thing I should like but didn't as much as I thought I would. Should probably give it another listen or two though.

Kind of Blue with a rather good Cabernet. Sublime.
Was reflecting that I bought that album because it appeared so often on this thread. Without emusers, and I think especially Greg, I might never have listened to it. Very grateful.
The third track is also a cover--should I be able to recognize 1 and 4 as well.

The 2 track album "Today is Sunday" (yup !) on the Bandcamp page is actually a full album with 14 for the most part excellent tracks released by WM Recordings:
- "Today is Sunday is a musical voyage (...). If you are willing to travel, you can go on a 50-minutes trip throughout various epic soundscapes, maybe accompanied by the ghosts of Pink Floyd or Mike Oldfield. Possibly you pass ambient and beat-inseminated lounges at the top of a desperate mountain, where you have a short discourse with Air and Moby, probably it all ends up in a nearly perfect pop or folk song, where Dido and Calexico decide to assemble for a short while. But nevertheless, there is a thread, a certain line that leads you all the way and thats the one thing that sets this album apart from all the quoted ones and any effort of stereotyped thinking."

At one point in my life, a vinyl copy of this album was the coolest thing I knew about.
