"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)

Synthesizer fire! The rear cover blurb for this library record - "Vivid contemporary sounds for a fresh visual image" - is an apt description of this blistering synth-driven library record originally released in 1974 by KPM Music Library, reissued for the first time by Be With Records. Synthesis was the work of Alan Hawkshaw and Brian Bennett, two heavyweights in the British library production scene. Their work would go on to influence and be sampled by a plethora of hip-hop artists (including Lootpack and Drake, among others). This release is a synth concept album of sorts, showcasing the multitude of possibilities of the ARP Odyssey (TTL sells the modern version of the ARP Odyssey) with a rhythm section to back the synth overload. This album is an essential companion piece to their other release on offer, Synthesizer And Percussion. While the music sometimes drifts into a weird electronic music vibe, it does so while remaining accessible and groovy. Almost like a proto g-funk with blissed-out soundscapes, you can hear how it influenced artists like Stereolab and Koushik. Songs to check out include the super-synth-funk cuts "The Executive," "Big Black Cadillac" and "Getting It Together" (the latter has an absolutely killer bass groove), as well as the impossibly smooth tracks "Alto Glide" and "Mermaid". But enough of me waxing poetic about the songs, give them a listen for yourself and decide. 12 tracks in all, remastered from the original master tracks. Released by Be With Records. Recommended.
- Limited Edition pressed on 180g vinyl
- remastered from the original analog tapes
