"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)

Long out-of-print 1979 fusion excursion from Haruomi Hosono with Masataka Matsutoya (Seaside Lovers, Tin Pan Alley) and accomplished session guitarist Takahiko Ishikawa. Sort of a spiritual successor to Pacific recorded just 1 year previous, here Harry & squad set their course for the titular Aegean Sea, that mystical Mediterranean inlet spanning the southern coasts of Greece and Turkey. The record picks up right where Pacific left off, trading in similarly breezy jazz fusion sounds but oozing with balearic grooves and elements of traditional Greek music (“Man, back off the Greeks. They invented civilization”); you can practically taste the salt blowing in off the coast. Side 1 track 1 “Aegean Fantasy” opens with some wistful strings, giving way to crashing waves and some rustic plucked string instrument (lute? mandolin? who knows), whisking you away to a stark white beach where you’ll be drinking grappa and eating feta cheese clumps by the handful in no time. “Reggae Aegean Woman” slips into some familiar YMO-esque slinkiness, deploying some Holger Czukay-grade quirky boogie vibes in what is probably the record’s most straightforward dance floor joint. “Image” is capital-F fusion, like Weather Report penniless and stranded in some Greek resort being forced to play for a bunch of Japanese tourists, while “The Rose Between Waves” rides a mellow jazz-funk groove on par with Donald Byrd’s 70s-era Mizell Bros work. “Daybreak” and “Aphrodite’s Mourning” sport the most trad Greek influence, the former thumping with a Cerrone-ish pulse and the latter making use of Ishikawa’s classical guitar chops over some tender piano and harp trills. “Mykonos Bride,” with its crazy synth arps and tender strings, is by far the greatest takeaway from the record and obviously our fave. An oft-forgotten but revelatory chapter in Hosono’s bottomless and constantly inspiring catalog, recommended.
