"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

If Trance is Chris & Cosey’s peak in terms of left-field doom and gloom, Songs of Love and Lust is a vivid expression of their poppier tendencies. Never content to meet the expectations of their fanbase (or the music press), Songs of… features the expected impeccable synthesizer and drum machine ad-libs and sequences from the ex-members of Throbbing Gristle, but now features relatively tender yet striking lead vocals by Cosey Fanni Tutti. The instrumentation is a bit more minimalist than prior records to allow room for her detached incantations, but what’s here is completely perfect. “Driving Blind” starts the record off with a a short synthesizer loop and glitchy synth washes over sharp laser blasts and motorik drums, Cosey’s endlessly reverberating vocal never quite lining up with the rigid sequencing. “Love Cuts” is a widescreen epic, earworm synth leads and cascades of sequenced arpeggios over burbling bass, “Walking Through Heaven” manages all of the grandeur of a Vangelis album in slightly over 5 minutes, crafting a brilliant proto-Balearic futurescape with glimmering synths, gated drums, and ecstatic drops. "Talk To Me" sounds like a less frantic sequel to Soft Cell's proto-techno classic "Memorabilia", "Gardens of the Pure" is Cosey taming a colony of feral cats. If you're a fan of The Chromatics, Dark Entries, or the soundtrack from Stranger Things, this is an essential listen. Pressed on transparent blue colored vinyl and includes a printed insert. Highly recommended.
