Holding Pattern
This one's from 2001, his second album, and the oldest one I've listened to. My second time through at the moment. Definitely more straight up breakbeat, perhaps nu-skool breaks, or both. Though it doesn't have that trancey/progressive feel that a lot of nu-skool breaks has, so I guess it's just breakbeat. I think a few of the songs on here are on his
Tip Hop album, which I believe is essentially a DJ mix of his own material (a great one to check out for those new to
Tipper). Some of the tracks are great, some feel a little bit like transition tracks, what may feel like filler tracks on a DJ mix or in a club set. Nothing bad though of course. But with this particular style, I think the tracks (the really strong ones) are best suited on DJ mixes of various artists. This is perhaps why - when I first got into breaks in the early part of the decade - artist albums didn't interest me as much as a DJ mix. I think the same could be said about
Wobble Factor - the tracks are great, but they'd perhaps work better on a multi-artist DJ mix in which they would stand out as some of the best tracks on the mix.
The only other track from this album I can find on YouTube is the closing track, a mellow one that isn't representative of the album so I won't post it.
