"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)

An indispensible artifact from an era when the Aphex Twin could do no wrong. In the mid 90s, Richard D. James led the charge of the IDM world, lived in a bank and even rolled around in a decommissioned army tank. His fourth full length as Aphex Twin finds the storied producer moving further away from the ambient techno of his earlier releases and diving headfirst into nasty drum n bass territory. James' innate ability to combine emotive melodies with intricate drum programming is on full display on the Richard D. James Album, the apex being the frenetic and sublime "To Cure A Weakling Child." The reflective, shimmering string arrangement of "Goon Gumpas" provides the antidote for all the heavy drum machine wizardry. Several tracks on the album were picked up by ad agencies and licensed for commercials; the US government even used album opener "4" in an anti-drug PSA! Through all of this he maintained his individuality and gained an infamous reputation with music journalists. You can hear some of that come through on a few of the more goofy tunes, such as album closer "Logan-Rock Witch." Being a true-to-form vinyl reissue of the original LP, this official Warp pressing sadly lacks the chimerical / hysterical US CD-only cut "Milkman," but that should not dissuade you from picking it up... it's worth the price of admission for "Yellow Calx" alone. Recommended!
