psydmt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 In their heyday (96-2000) who in your opinion was the better label Tip or Blueroom ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Blueroom, definetely. Classy. From their artists choices to art-cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technosomy Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 now this is a tough one! on one hand you have releases for tip such as........ the colours one of if not the most successful of goa comp series artists, infinity project, gms, doof, psychopod, and then of course the mystery of the yeti/crystal skulls, some of the best releases ever imo then you have total eclipse, cydonia, koxbox, etnica! total eclipse, juno reactor aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh blueroom have it on releases, quality of artists (just) but you can't really compare as most of the great old school artists, played both sides of this fence. but for me, tip wins, for the colour series, and mystery of the yeti alone, and raj of course!

psydmt Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I always thought Blueroom was more Avant garde and Tip more party music oriented (who saw GMS live around 99 ? Whoa!!!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I always thought Blueroom was more Avant garde and Tip more party music oriented (who saw GMS live around 99 ? Whoa!!!!!!) Blueroom +1 I saw GMS in Sept. 98, and it was the only time they made me really dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLoUr DoTZ Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 They compliment each other quite well, but Blue room was, well........ X-Dream, Koxbox, Juno Reactor, Total eclipse,Psychaos, Etnica, Cop, The Delta, etc.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Blue Room was THE classy, stylish, refined British label for excellence, in my opinion and in many's as I can see. And who didn't want to have their Loud Speakers? Their merchandise also was top notch, the slipmats! But of course TIP was a milestone in the goa scene as well but a tad bit more psychedelic in the true meaning of the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technosomy Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 This. is there a third to choose? not heard of that label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richpa Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hard to choose, but I would say Blue Room, just because they released some of my all-time favorites including Alien Protein, Dragon Tales, Beyond The Infinite, Violent Relaxation, Mystical Experiences, to name a few.

radi6404 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Blueroom +1 I saw GMS in Sept. 98, and it was the only time they made me really dance. I like GMS a lot for example, old GMS is superb. i guess Blue Room with Etnica nd Total Eclipse, but the Infinity Project is awesome aswell. blue Room seems a bit better.

Goa-Head Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 TIP started in 1994 and set the standard for the proper old crusty raw acid washed goa trance. It ended in 1998 and just before it's winding up it gave us a hint of psy breaks with synchro and snake thing. On the other hand blue room started just a few months after TIP and in the beginning was also pure old crusty goa trance but more refined. As early as 1997 the label started exploring musical territories no goa label dared before - breaks, idm, techno, non-goa trance and non-goa downtempo. Just watch all those CDs from 1998 to it's end in early 2001 - all but goa, all but the same artist, all but the same musical concept. I have them all. I vote for blue room, which is my favourite uk label together with TIP and dragonfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest D N H Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Both great! No voting here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-BAN Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I cant decide but I will say Blueroom had some awesome holographic promo stickers. I have 1 or two still lingering about in an envelope. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 ahhh the stickers, lovely stuff from BR.. but mind that TIP also had some stickers (probably less spread though) and the hologram contained in the case of TIP 3D was pretty nice too!

psydmt Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 I still have a Blue Room Hologram sticker some where and also have the clear Blueroom sticker as well given out by ChaosUnlimited back in the day. Had one on my boot of my car for 13 years but nobody ever said anything to me about it, mind you it is New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reger Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Blue Room, as it seems, was really legendary label, Etnica helped them alot to gain this mythical/romantical feeling to it ! TIP had some awesome releases also, Im pretty sure I havent listened neither to all of BR's nor TIP's releases, but for Etnica's stuff and Infinity Projects two albums alone these two labels are legendary in my book, after all they had high quality releases besides the ones I already mentioned here.

K-BAN Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 you obviously havn't been to wellington! trust me, the wind will take the skin of your bones! true, I havent but I guess I just do not know enough about the country. Over here it is always viewed as a tropical paradise, always sunny. So the comment threw me off is all. With our winters that can reach in the negative degrees F, thinking of this "paradise" being chilly sounds silly ;p I would like to visit one day for sure!
