"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)

Fujiya & Miyagi’s thrilling amalgam of krautrock textures, new wave vocals and unabashed worship of Japanese culture now available on vinyl for the first time ever, having been originally released during peak “is vinyl dead?” hysteria (2006) despite garnering a “Best New Music” designation from Pitchfork upon release. The infectious groove of opener “Ankle Injuries” juxtaposes Klaus Dinger’s iconic motorik beat with vocals more indebted to vintage Depeche Mode, two elements that are pretty much consistent for the duration of the record. Album highlight “Photocopier” starts off on a Jaki Liebezeit tip, channeling the breakier side of krautrock riddims (but temporarily snaps back to motorik during a short interlude) before blissfully tumbling into a deep cavern of cascading synth textures. Transparent Things isn’t just a faux-Japanese reimagining of krautrock; the Brighton trio veer into DFA-worthy territory on “In One Ear & Out The Other” and “Collarbone,” and the dark & sultry bonus track “Reeboks In Heaven” plays out some dreamy what-if-Pet Shop Boys-were-on-4AD fantasies, another serious highlight. While they do make heavy use of the motorik rhythm (last time I drop this annoying term, I promise), they deploy it with more accessibility and dancefloor potential than any tune this side of “Hallogallo.” Clear vinyl pressing housed in die-cut jacket with custom transparent PVC outer sleeve, limited edition of 2000 copies.
