Synopsis

Album Description
26 year old Tipper hails from Wimbeldon, England, where he's become known as one of the world's best nu-breaks artists. He now switches gears to introduce us to his ambient music. Tipper has always taken chill out to new heights, adding depth and intricacy to his score of heady electronics. Emotional warmth fills the ones and zeros, along with his usual sonic extremes, creating an album that is at once moving and honest. Surrounded will change the way you listen to music.
 

CD Reviews

Smart Warm and Sensual - Electronics At Its Best
Karl Miller | Phoenixville, PA United States | 05/20/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Dave Tipper has programmed and produced an ambient classic with "Surrounded". This is a disc that is loaded with melody, rhythm and beats - and is a new benchmark in electronic music.The track "Just As The Sun Went Down" is classic early a.m. music, and is the highlight of this incredible set. The bass notes are perfect, the melodies are sweet and hushed, and you can't help but feel chilled while listening. This song is gorgeous.
"Rotundus Maximus" features a brilliant orchestral movement and an ethereal chorus. "California Rolls" adds some killer acoustic guitar sounds to a warm electro undercurrent, creating a sound that is more sensual than anything you've heard in ages. And "Illabye" makes clever use of bells over a deep, subtle beat that lulls the listener into a contemplative state of mind."Surrounded" is as good as it gets when it comes to this type of music. All of the songs are well played, and the production is impeccable. This is incrdible music to just sit back and listen to, and captures all that is good with electronica today.NOTE: "Surrounded" is recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound - If your equipment is state of the art, the experience of listening to this disc is unbelievable!"
Down-tempo with Substance.

"It's 2:09 am and I'm listening to Surrounded on my iPod (ripped from the CD I purchased at Amazon.com of course). In my humble opinion, there hasn't been another down-tempo album (non-compilation) in recent memory that sounded this consistently good. It's not just mindless down-beat, you will find texture and substance. Entertainment Weekly recently gave this album a positive review. I recommend you give this album a listen. Prepare to be chilled out."
One of the most finely tuned albums I've heard.

"I am a new fan of Tipper, I have yet to hear his more dance oriented music, but Surrounded is one of the most amazing albums I have heard--on a production stand-point and a musical stand-point. The high end of this album especially is wonderful, with constant panning of tiny blips and nu-skooly sounds. One of the most dimensional albums I have heard as well. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates any good electronic music--it will blow your mind."
