"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

Hamlet Minassian's solo masterpiece is a testament to the Middle East's forgotten dance music culture. Recorded in westernized Iran immediately before the 1979 revolution, which lead to the near-criminalization of most Western-derived elements of culture. The young Armenian musician was born in 1940 in the city of Tabriz in Northwest Iran. After graduating from music school he attended the Tehran Conservatorie, followed by stints researching pop music in the US and Europe. He began his career with composing Chanson style songs based off the timelessly in vogue style of French pop music. This six track, 44 minute LP is a hybrid of Euro disco and traditional Armenian music, the synthesized elements mixed with eclectic percussion make this sound like early house music. “Alas-alas” is over 12 mibutes of murmuring bassline and eerie falsetto vocals with Moroder-esque synthesizer arpeggios. “On The Days” is chirpy percussion and scatted vocals with brass accents and percussion-heavy passages. “Al Elnim” begins with synthetic-sounding sequences that expand into guitar flicker, cleanly recorded drums, and endless layers of vocal vamps. Highly recommended.
