"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)

“I’ve got this craving for you…” Harry Hosono’s first solo album since forming the Yellow Magic Orchestra with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi in 1978 was an attempt to synthesize an advanced style of pop music. Locking himself up in his newly-designed LDK Studio with unlimited studio time (“I’ve always liked making music in private spaces. That’s why I named it LDK: Living-Dining-Kitchen”), Hosono made extensive use of the E-mu Emulator’s primitive sampling possibilities, which drastically altered the course of the project when it was brought into the studio, yielding “Picnic” and the title track in the first session (Hosono paid tribute to the role of the Emulator and other revolutionary pieces of gear like the MC-4 and Prophet 5 by listing them as guest performers in the album credits). Hosono’s modern pop aspirations are realized on the ultra-catchy “Sports Men,” “Living-Dining-Kitchen” and the severely-hummable “Funiculi Funicula,” but it’s the more experimental wares we’re reaching for… The adventurous pastische of “Birthday Party,” “Philharmony” and “Air Condition” foreshadow Hosono’s sublime balearic techno works from the 90s; also check the Reich-esque passages “Luminescent / Hotaru” and “In Limbo.” Philharmony is a bizarre album for sure, but repeat listens reveal quite an expressive record, conveying Hosono’s unrelenting quest for new sounds as well as his loneliness in the studio (“Birthday Party” samples voices from various people who dropped by to visit him) and a ‘hunger for love’ (“Sports Men, “Platonic”). This deluxe Light In The Attic pressing includes an 8-page booklet with liner notes and an extensive interview with Hosono, obi strip and gatefold jacket including lyrics for all the vocal tracks, even loopy sampler experiments like “Luminescent / Hotaru” and “Picnic” (the lyrics are literally just the word “Picnic” over and over again…). First time on vinyl since the original 1982 pressing, and first-ever reissue outside of Japan on any format (when the album cover starts getting memed, it’s time for a reissue). Obviously highly recommended.
