Oh good. Truce off!

Anyway, the whole "Tipsy recreated the samples due to legal issues" is not a new thing and dates back eleven years. I'm pretty sure the story originates from the press kit disseminated with Trip Tease.

Here's another review indicating the "sample recreation" story: http://www.splendidezine.com/reviews/apr-21-97/tipsy.html

So is it technically possible to go into a studio and reproduce the sound of a thirty piece orchestra? Sure, even if done one instrument at a time. Will it sound identical? Possibly, but most likely not. Could it sound very similar? Absolutely.

So is the back story true? Maybe... Maybe not...

Is it a good story? Hell yeah!

Innocent until proven guilty...

So let's try!

I would love to hear some A-B comparisons! As I said earlier, it'll be fun. In addition to the Les Baxter loop that Jeff will ID, if there are any other source loops that anybody here can identify, I'll do my best to track down the original. Then we could A B compare them.

You WILL have fun.
