"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)

Geinoh Yamashirogumi is a one-of-a-kind musical collective uniting hundreds of people from all walks of life - doctors, engineers, office works, businessmen, and more. They are well-versed in folk music from the world over, often blending traditional musical styles with cutting-edge synthesizers and contemporary production and engineering techniques. Ecophony Gaia is heavily based on the traditional Gamelan orchestras of Indonesia, which feature an array of metallophones played by hand and by mallet, in addition to xylophone, bamboo flutes, and others. This composition began life as a macrosymphony composed for the International Garden and Greenery Exposition in Osaka, Japan, 1990, meant to be the audio accompaniment for a water and light performance that was the centerpiece of the exhibition. Ecophony Gaia is considered part of a trilogy that includes 1986’s Echophony Rinne and continued with 1988’s endlessly influential soundtrack to the anime film Akira. The album’s overall theme is that of rebirth, leading to a more hopeful and less foreboding vibes than its predecessors. Each disc of the album forms a complete composition, but it is also enjoyable as a whole. The music is both meditative and highly engaging, with a truly unique balance of improvisation and rigidity that makes even the smallest changes seem revelatory. The use of field recordings underlines the natural aesthetic, at times it’s difficult to tell if the sound you are listening to is natural, synthetic, or some combination of the two. This probably won’t be on streaming any time soon, and only gets reissued on LP every once in a while, so don’t delay. Highly recommended.
- double black vinyl pressing
- first time in print since 2015
- limited edition
- original release year: 1990
- music label: Invitation 2019
