Wow, thank you for that, mgress!! :D I had a lot of fun putting these covers together, and it makes me really happy to see people still enjoying them a year or two later. Thanks for listening! :]
This and all your other Pogo collaborations are pure brilliance, I've never experienced a more natural and absolutely drug-free sense of euphoria! It's a wonder that our society has taken to mass producing such zombifying drugs and antidepressants when such a natural source can be found at one's essential palm... Seriously, HOW can you listen to this (or Alvin's other covers) and even TRY to be pissed, depressed, etc.? Alvin and the Pogo = Inspiration, awesomeness, optimism, beauty...LIFE!
Release a CD and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Please, your covers are astonishing. Really, I've never come across an individual who's re-envisioned POGO's fantastic work with various instruments like this! You are also a genius, and I love the way you film as well! Brilliant work my friend! Absolutely brilliant!
Amazing stuff man. Very awesome. I keep coming back here to listen to it. I didn't even really notice this Pogo song on my album until I heard your rendition and have found a new fave. Thanks!
I just wanna thank you on a job well done. People think Pogo's music is a random cluster. But, you sir, make it so when I hear a song of Pogo's songs, this is how I hear it. Just wanna thank you again for reading my mind and say that YOU are the MAN!
Oh Alvin, that was outrageous! ...you inspire man, you completely inspire! ...thanks for raising us to new levels! ....truly, jAckie messenger (songwriter/ singer from Hawaii =)
This is pretty darn good! Hey, have you ever covered Upular or Boo Bass yet? If not, you should do those two. I love Pogo, and I love your covers of his awesome songs.
@genericmilk - Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying them :). I do the same thing with his music, I can pretty much "sing" all of his mixes now haha. I wish I had more time to make these covers, there are a lot of really great tracks of his that I'd love to break down and multitrack! That said I do have Bangarang finished. All it needs now is a video ;-)
Amazing, gorgeous, fantastic, outstanding, mind-blowing and a whole dictionary more of complimentary words that I could borrow to describe what is otherwise indescribably wonderful. Thanks for posting!
@TheEnyOfDoom - Thanks for your support :) The covers are definitely time consuming, since Pogo's remixes can be unbelievably intricate (Whisperlude in particular; watch Pogo's breakdown of the track on Vimeo, it's pretty mindblowing, there's a lot more going on in the song that I wasn't even able to get in the cover!).
Thanks Alvin! All of your covers, Nay, your works are amazing thus far! When I seen you had uploaded another video of a Pogo cover my hands FLEW into the air! I love your covers and they put me in the best moods! This one, especially because it's such a soft tone to begain with really makes my day. :) Oh! Maybe... just maybe, your next work could be Bangarang? That is my MOST FAVORITE song by Pogo! And hey, if you don't wanna do that I'd love to hear a cover of Uplular. ^_^ Thanks Alvin!!!!
@Dittofication - Haha thanks man, I appreciate it :) Nick's remixes are super complex, it's fun to try to break them down and see how far I can get trying to replicate them with standard instruments. Re: CD, I am actually working on a bunch of tracks at the moment, and hope to release something sooner than later (not gonna lie, I've actually been messing around with sampling a little bit also. It's fun! haha) Oh and for those asking: I shoot with a Canon T2i (EOS 550D) w/ custom color profile
The mere fact that you are treating pogo's music as it should be... as music, not "broken up words" is awe inspiring. Bravo!
Over a decade later and I still love this cover. Thanks so much Alvin.
This guy seems to have vanished from the internet. I hope he's well - he's such a talented artist.
Wow, thank you for that, mgress!! :D
I had a lot of fun putting these covers together, and it makes me really happy to see people still enjoying them a year or two later. Thanks for listening! :]
Still enjoying them!
Gosh, I forgot how awesome your tracks are. Stellar work Alvin just stellar - Riverman
Someone took your Yoyz Noize cover and played it over the original. The two sounded heavenly together. I would love to hear that done with this.
This and all your other Pogo collaborations are pure brilliance, I've never experienced a more natural and absolutely drug-free sense of euphoria!

This is beautiful and you are brilliant.

Brilliant work my friend! Absolutely brilliant!
that intro melody is so great as a normally played thing
I dont know whats better, the Quality or the edition, both amazing by the way.
Just found the original Whisperlude late last year. So good. 11 years late but AMAZING cover man! It really captures the songs brilliance.
Amazing stuff man. Very awesome. I keep coming back here to listen to it.
I didn't even really notice this Pogo song on my album until I heard your rendition and have found a new fave.
Thanks!
cherish this era of music pioneering while it lasts people, this is the avant garde music scene, as surreal as it gets...
I cant get over how awesome this is! Its inspiring to hear!!
I have never felt such intense euphoria from an instrumental
utterly amazing
I just wanna thank you on a job well done. People think Pogo's music is a random cluster. But, you sir, make it so when I hear a song of Pogo's songs, this is how I hear it. Just wanna thank you again for reading my mind and say that YOU are the MAN!
Pogo, AlvinPing, and Dittofication... 3 of my favorite people in youtube.
Oh Alvin, that was outrageous! ...you inspire man, you completely inspire! ...thanks for raising us to new levels! ....truly, jAckie messenger (songwriter/ singer from Hawaii =)
Dude, you made me cry a little...Absolutely gorgeous rendition. Like hearing it for the first time! :')
your stuff is always just as good as the Pogo originals! such a unique sound :D
Dear sir: You are brilliant. Your videos are simply beautiful and I can't imagine how much work you must put into each cover. Bravo, I say. Bravo.
you and pogo should team up for a monster mumma jam
Wow! I almost saw his face!! Hope to see a live show of Alvin Pingol someday. That would be seriously awesome.
I'm falling in love with that guitar of yours :)
This is pretty darn good! Hey, have you ever covered Upular or Boo Bass yet? If not, you should do those two. I love Pogo, and I love your covers of his awesome songs.
I couldn't have started my day on a better foot thanks to this. Keep up the amazing work sir.
Couple shivers down my spine at 2:38! Brilliant work!

Brilliant performance! You are an excellent and versatile musician!
wonderful imagery and editing too! ~ Great video!
Woah. My mind was just blown. Going to be listening to all your covers all day at work now :D
The fact that I’m 12 years late to this….
Ignoring the fact that I was 8 when this came out-
i didnt even think this was possible but ah... that was amazing!!!
PLEASE do more of Pogo as the covers you made sound amazing, inspiring and orgasmic! :D
Just amazing
Wow, talk about a challenge accepted! You did a BEAUTIFUL job! Congratulations!!!!

Very well done, very well done indeed. Has Pogo heard this?
He has. He did a shout out to Alvin in one of his earlier streams years ago ;)
U are gifted my friend

Thank you for posting this. You are quite amazing.
You made my day, thank you very much!
Amazing.
This was so perfect I could swear I could see the characters faces saying the words to the notes as if it was a normal POGO song o-o ^^ you rock
The quality for 2011 is surreal
Did anyone notice he's wearing another T-shirt in every shot? Awesome music btw, you really captured the Pogo-feeling! :D
Thanks Alvin! All of your covers, Nay, your works are amazing thus far! When I seen you had uploaded another video of a Pogo cover my hands FLEW into the air!

Holy shit, well done.
Wooow this is phenomenal. Excellent work. Although I have to admit that the slow motion camera work made me laugh a bit.
Good job
