Ging Ging is the debut studio album by Purr Machine, released on January 13, 2000, by Re-Constriction Records.[1] [2] [3]

Reception

Steve Kurutz of Allmusic criticized Ging Ging for being "difficult album to listen to" that "create[s] a near impenetrable aural wall for listeners." Despite this, "he concluded that during the album's softer moments, "Regarding Mary" and "There's More" among them, the album does achieve moments of beauty." Aiding & Abetting praised Betsy Martin's performance and the band for drawing from a broad ranges of influences.[4] Exclaim! critic Matt Mernagh gave it mixed review, saying "about the only thing Purr Machine won't do on their full-length debut is create a headache with their odd sounding goth electronica and fuzzy guitar."[5]
