Cinos Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I'm not sure all those classify, but whatever. Personally I think all of them were (and are) pretty goddamn overrated. Not one is consitently enjoyable, though Phosphorescent comes the closest. As a semi-note, 3D is the worst. Quote
Guest antic Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I too voted Phosphorescent, however 3D is very close I personally hate some of the tracks from the first two (Yellow & Orange), like Mandragora, Einstein or Voodoo People... Quote
Jikkenteki Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 What about Clear (Mu), Purple and Red? (and Black too, although that is just Japanese version of Phosphorescent) Quote
Cinos Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 What about Clear (Mu), Purple and Red? (and Black too, although that is just Japanese version of Phosphorescent) 419839[/snapback] Purple and Red are on TIP World right? Never heard of Clear either, these are what Discogs lists. Quote

I actually like Voodoo People a lot. What I don't like from Orange was Total Eclipse's "A Little Bit of Heaven" Quote
niobium Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 What about Clear (Mu), Purple and Red? (and Black too, although that is just Japanese version of Phosphorescent) 419839[/snapback] Then I suppose you could include White ... I guess Andrea and Graham aren't exactly colours... WTF they are as much colours as '3D' !! Quote
Tatsu Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I haven't heard all the comps (but most tracks from it) and Phosphorescent is my favourite so far. 3D is interesting. Quote
Jikkenteki Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ah yes, I forgot White too. As for where they are on Discogs... http://www.discogs.com/release/329479 http://www.discogs.com/release/329477 http://www.discogs.com/release/329473 http://www.discogs.com/release/327218 http://www.discogs.com/release/329468 http://www.discogs.com/release/312888 I personally don't make much of a difference between the (now) three incarnations of TIP. Same people, the only difference is the bookwork. Quote
Cinos Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Well, they aren't released on TIP, they're weird Japanese re-releases or something. Just go with the current options! Quote
Jikkenteki Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well, they aren't released on TIP, they're weird Japanese re-releases or something. Just go with the current options! 419862[/snapback] The catalog numbers don't say TIP, but everyother detail on them says clearly TIP Records and if you look in the jacket of the "TIP The Story" double cd they are shown in with all the other TIP releases so it seems clear to me that the label in question considers them their own releases, which is good enough for me. But to each his own... Quote

Just go with the current options! 419862[/snapback] Yes agreed. Nevertheless they are released in co-operation with TIP and aren't really re-releases. Also, if you look at Graham, it is a substantially different comp. Quote

Also, if you look at Graham, it is a substantially different comp. 419867[/snapback] Funny that this got taken this far as I made the first post as a joke. Anywho, the "released in co-operation with TIP" was just a discogs listing thing. The Japanese versions say on them "TIP Records", the copyrights are TIP Records, etc. From my understanding the "Nippon Crown" bit was purely a business thing as when these were released it was difficult for a non-Japanese label of some minor underground dance music to get any real distribution in Japan at the time, so to work around that you just had a Japanese label print it for you. Matsuri did the same thing and I guess you could even say its still the same with Solistic releasing just about everyone's albums here with their own catalog number. I consider them alternate versions more than anything. Anywho, the whole discussion started a joke in the first place so.... Quote
Charlie Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I think Phosporescent and Beyond Colour are on par but voted for Phosphorescent as it holds happier memories. I'd say Blue is the worst though it's still pretty good. Quote
Maxx Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 i only have the blue and 3d,so i vote for blue,its got some really good trax on it. Quote
Basilisk Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 It's so hard to choose - I dig them all... TIP is where it was at! The development is unparalleled. Quote
seraph Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I like them all, in the end it is TIP, and old TIP was amazing...Blue and Phosphorescent are the best of all of them... Quote
qa2pir Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Only heard Yellow, Phosphorescent and a bit of Blue, so far Blue seems best. Quote
Guest Astro Cortex Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 3D is my fave, closely followed by Phosphorescent and Beyond Colour. Quote
amphiton Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I own the Orange one... will have to check all of them. Quote
devious Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Cinos, I'll sell you Mu (Clear) for 1000 dollars, buddy! It's so clear, I can see rainbirds right through the case .. Ahh, refreshing it is Anyways, as far as the topic lists, Orange by far. No doubt, :> Aaron Quote
devious Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Oh, I forgot, only "cool" people know about the mu clear, white, blue, black, yellow and orange comps on NC :> teehee. I have white, orange, and mu! Now if Jikkenteki could find me the remaining ones :-P I might trade some fun vinyl for em teehee. And no, not my TIP collection Aaron Quote
