@S_X - "That's like, your opinion, man."
Concur w/ P1 and S-P. Can't add much more. I have more stuff on TIP than any other label combined, quite easily. -
Like many Goa related things this began to stink after the change of millenia.
Very early stuff still is a joy to listen such as hallucinogen, green nuns, orichalcum and infinity project. Although i like the label i can say i dont need a single of their releases to be happy in Goa Land. For those that crave the underground sound theres nothing to look in here. -
Simply the best goa/psy trance label of the 1990s. TIP managed (and still manages) to combine the psychadelic mood of the genre with pulsating, powerful beats and rhythms that some early 'goa' trance releases lacked. Classic tracks such as X-Dream's 'Panic in Paradise' and 'Stimuli' by The Infinity Project (which - incidentally - gives the label its name) still sound fresh and innovative today, and were often dropped by big-name DJs as the killer tracks in more mainstream sets. TIP's colourful sleeves were initially hand painted and the 'indian woman's head' design reflects the bold, upfront, no-nonsense style of music they champion. I have too many favourite tracks from the TIP stable to mention and was always amazed how each release sounded fresh and pushed the sound and genre forward. Trancey, Independent and Pure!
