 Silly but banal silly not silly silly May 17, 2007

This is another of those sounds, rhythms and beats albums that leaves one wondering what is the point? There is a movement about whose members create albums composed of samples and sound patterns often with kitschy faux lounge music tempos and neo-cha cha cha overtones most of which don't have much merit. This is one of them. Listen to the samples available here on amazon the actual songs themselves don't get any better. So, if you really, really like what you hear and really, really want to hear 4 minutes each of every track then this is the album for you. If you would like to hear some music in this vein that is really and truly inventive, clever, respectable and perhaps even virtuous check out the artist known as URSULA 1000, he's pretty darned great. (Oh, and did I say witty and charming?} As for this one. Definitely not worth the price of admission.

This CD makes for great love making sessions. It's my new favorite for that. My prior favorite was the movie "Trainspotting" soundtrack.
What's old is new again and then some! Bravo, Tipsy! October 7, 2004

Aside from this too, like many others have commented, being one of my ALL TIME favorites (study music, mood music, inspiration, etc.) what I particularly love about certain types of musical compositions is trying to figure out "just how did they compile/generate that sound"?! Much like how in The Murmaids' classic "Popsicles, Icicles" I still wonder how they fully got that "Bloop, blee-blee-blee bloop.." sound on the organ (and/or whatever other instrument they used with it)! One of the cuts on "Trip Tease"- "Grossenhosen" I'm just resigned to believe the plinking xylophone sound playing in the background was made by running a coin over one of those giant novelty combs you get a carnival; since as a kid I used to do this with one around the house that sounded just like that! The other effects were brilliantly recaptured from older material (Denny, Esquival, etc.) as others have pointed out, and let's not forget a little bit of Lucia Pamela thrown in too! I've owned my copy of this for years and haven't braved the follow-up yet (but did buy the second vinyl release) for fear of the second time around not packing the same punch. One day, though!

I ran into Tipsy right about the same time that I was getting burned out on almost every other kind of music out there: rock and roll was dead, goth was too gloomy, I was too old to convincingly be punk, I tried rave music but it just didn't fit me, folk music was all sounding the same, and international music was hard to come by in my Kentucky hometown. Then, lo and behold, an ex-boyfriend did his one good deed for our whole acquaintance, and recommended this to me. My musical appetite was revived! Tipsy totally defies categorization. Yes, on a crude level, I suppose you could call them electronic, though I think they actually bring all their instruments into the studio and organically recreate the sound of electronic music. Their music veers in such diverse directions, though, that it is at times difficult to tell the music is even modern. If you own a swimming pool, this is music to lay out with and sip fruity green drinks from martini glasses with paper umbrellas. If you are a landlocked city dweller, this music can transport you to a little island called Tipsydonia, where the natives are friendly, the beaches are white, and there's a luau till dawn every night. If you live in the country and feel misunderstood, this CD will either make you feel that someone does understand your slightly wacky view of the world or make you so immensely cheered up that you will no longer care. Am I making my point? Whoever you are, you should buy this music and listen to it while driving, eating, dancing, reading, making love, studying, partying or any other common human activity. Beware, though...listening to this music in your sleep may cause sudden knowledge of the entire Tahitian language and a strange longing for cat-eye sunglasses and pina coladas...

Its hard to put this CD into a particular category, but I like it. Trip Tease contains the cleverest use of sound sampling that I have heard; mixing Jazz and Lounge music into new, beautiful sounding music. I highly recommend Tipsy's music.
