| Video: Vector Lovers ‘Ping Pong’ Posted: 18 Feb 2009 02:33 PM PST Here's the video for Vector Lovers 'Ping Pong', a warm melodic techno number on Soma Recordings that was released last September. The video is rather nostalgic, finding inspiration in old arcade games from the 1980s and it has visuals similar to one of the famous sci-fi films from that era, Tron.
