Hi. Yeah Tipsy is great. We've talked about them a few times here:

They come highly recommended by me, although they are more moderen to be classified as "Tiki music".

SWEET CINNAMON PUNCH on U-OH is amazing...track 4...i live for sounds like that!

I also endorse this band.

I've got a couple of their CDs, and I've never been able to really get into them. At some point I'll have to haul them out and give them another listen. I think they're perhaps a bit more modern than I like. If I recall correctly, they lean a bit into Esquivel-ly territory, and he's another one I like a little but not a lot.

if you think track 4 from UH-OH is something to live for, then may I suggest something to die for --

"Solid State" on Combustible Edison's "Stereophonic" -- THE best bit of space-agey lounge I've ever heard -- in fact, let's just face it, when you die and go to heaven and check out God's tiki bar, this is the music that will be playing in the vestibule --

Yeah I feel the same way, Sweet Cinnamon Punch is a great, mellow song and one of my all-time favorites, definitely my favorite track on Uh-Oh. Fits in well with an uptempo exotica mix.

CE's Solid State is a great track too, more moog-sounding than most of Tipsy, but really great.

i love this band,but does anyone know what happened to them??...are they still around?, and if not, what are the members doing now?????

Hula -- which band?

If Combustible Edison -- then I'm afraid I must report the hideous news that they've disbanded.

i was wondering about tipsy......heard about combusibles demise a while back, too bad, i never got to catch them live

the iTunes music store has the three Combustible Edison CD's from 1994, 96 & 98 available for download for $9.99 each.

PS I have a Combustible Edison page right here on the Tikiroom: http://www.tikicentral.com/music/combustible.htm

(I need to make a Tipsy page, too).

From what I've read, the first Tipsy album was a re-mix project using samples of old exotica records (for personal consumption, of course.) Once the original tapes proved to be popular, the individual parts or pieces were re-recorded by San Francisco musicians, and then brought back into the computer and re-mixed again. Voila! Instant (or not so intsant) masterpiece.

I love this record! It's one of my all time favorites. And, I'm not just saying that because I used play experimental music with David Gardner (of Tipsy). (David, if you are on this list, or read this, please drop me an email!)
