Various - TIP Singles 3

Overall good release from Tip Records. All the tracks here are solid 1998 psychedelic sounds moving further away from the hi-energy psy/goa sound Tip Records and others previously corked out. These are all more in the stranger vein, crunchier and less dependent on synth hooks and acid lines, albeit produced well. The Systembusters and Slinky Nuns tracks are my favorites- very psy-tech trancey and strange. Growlmonizer is neat, and has that Simon sound but isn't huge like Hallucinogen. I'm not a big fan of Doof, and I can never tell what pitch to play "Star Above Parvati", so I just skip over it. My copy has a mislabel, as the last two tracks: The Infinity Project and Doof labels are on opposite sides of the record. Another thing, the Infinity Project track, "Overwind" remix by Acid Rockers here is written by R. Rothfield and G. Wood. On the 12" single "Overwind", (discogs release/58971), "Overwind" is written by Graham Wood and Raja Ram.
All in all, I'm glad this was released because it was a good breath of fresh air for the label.
