"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)

Eddie Palmieri is one of those upper echelon musicians who sometimes seems to tire of typical musical formats and just go off on his own personal tangent. This makes for some intense and idiosyncratic soundscapes that can be utterly indecipherable to anyone not paying close attention. Thankfully, on this 1971 salsa classic, he basically sits down and kicks out the jams, keeping the Cecil Taylor-in-Havana-isms to a minimum. The whole first side is a tour de force of latin groove, starting with the blazing "La Malanga." The band lets you catch your breath for a minute with the laid back "Pa' Huele," an easy summertime swinger, before "Bilongo" closes out the side with minor key rhumba for the dancers. The flip side of the record is where Eddie has obviously decided to stretch out, evidenced by the 8-minute abstraction "Que Lindo Eso!" (lotsa potential sample sounds here) and the slow bubbler "Chocolate Ice Cream," a feature for ace trumpeter "Chocolate" Armenteros. Only the deepest dance heads are going to be hip to "17.1," the last track on the album, but I wonder if there's a soul alive who could keep still as this descarga builds to a charging climax. I heard Joe Claussel drop this at Body and Soul once and, along with the rest of the room, lost my marbles. An intersection of musicality, groove and energy that has few equals, and the pinnacle of a great album.
