"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)

“Looking in a dream world for a break…” Debut album from session percussionist Doug Hammond in his first time in the bandleader chair, originally released on Wendell Harrison and Phil Ranelin’s coveted Detroit jazz label Tribe Records. Keyboardist David Durrah plays Ghost to Hammond's Chef, lending some ace Rhodes & synthesizer work to the session. Musically there’s soulful afro-jazz vibes galore, but on a lyrical tip, Sea Of Nurnen is more upbeat and harmonious than, say, Harrison’s haunting Message From The Tribe (also just reissued). Hammond was just a Lord Of The Rings nerd (file this one next to Zeppelin and Sabbath) who wanted to jam, and where Message From The Tribe was an austere depiction of Earth, Sea Of Nurnen is an escape to Middle Earth via jazz. Straightforward soul jazz grooves (“Fidalgo Detour,” “Sea Of Nurnen”) are interspersed with adventurous Moog sketches courtesy of Durrah (“Space I,” “Space II”). Hammond plays drums and lends his buoyant vocals to a few tracks, landing somewhere between Curtis and Gil, and I’m stuck wondering why this guy didn’t blow up (he sang on Mingus' "Moves" the year before this though). The soulful, message-oriented “Wake Up Brothers” and “For Real” are easily the best tracks of the set, each sporting some divine Arp synthesizer licks. Also check out lush Rhodes reverie “Reflections” and moody closing cut “Moves.” Reflections In The Sea Of Nurnen is a sublime listen, loaded with memorable hooks and riffs that’ll rattle around your brain for months (the sax riff on “Fidalgo Detour” has been stuck in my head since this reissue was announced). Remastered 180g pressing via Pure Pleasure Records, and shout to them for sourcing a full color version of the cover art (we love all the b&w black jazz sleeves too, but you can't front on this!). Recommended.
