"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)

Final album from experimental industrial godfathers Coil, originally released in 2005. The Ape Of Naples was arranged by founding member Peter Christopherson (ex-Throbbing Gristle / Psychic TV / Hipgnosis), culling and reworking material from various projects initiated over the course of the previous decade. Christopherson casts a wide berth in the range of material, from the ethno-occultism of opener “Fire Of The Mind” to the electronic gamelan minimalism of “The last Amethyst Deceiver” and 128kbps spaghetti jazz of “Tattooed Man,” and those are just the first three tracks. It’s somewhat of an epitaph for Coil co-founder Jhonn Balance, who tragically passed away from an accident in his home the previous year, and his macabre lyrics take on new meaning in this new context. It’s possibly the most straightforward music Coil ever released, with sparse, unobscured arrangements (possibly influenced by Steve Reich?), discernible rhythms, with many tracks coming close to resembling some perversion of a standard verse / chorus song structure. Other highlights include “Cold Cell,” “Amber Rain,” “Teenage Lightning 2005” the cinematic “Triple Sun” and the John T. Gast-esque “I Don’t Get It.” A fitting endcap to one of the most innovative and influential groups of the 20th and 21st centuries alike. Black 2LP pressing with custom etching on the D-side, recommended.
- black double vinyl pressing
- custom etching on side D
- re-cut from the original master
- housed in gatefold jacket w/ printed inner sleeves
- original release year: 2005
- music label: Important Records 2023
