"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

"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

The second of Lonnie Liston Smith’s solo records for Flying Dutchman, Cosmic Funk sports sick artwork (LLS’ coolest IMO) and expands on the sound of Astral Traveling with the inclusion of Lonnie’s lil bro Donald Smith on vocals and piano. To be completely honest, I can take or leave the vocals, but I appreciate what they were trying to do here. Jazz in 1974 was all about finding new horizons, unchartered landscapes, unexplored galaxies etc.; so LLS & crew reject the purist mood that pervaded the 60s, in turn embracing the funk and soul sounds that were increasingly threatening to define their generation. Still, Lonnie does his thing to a pair of jazz standards: the melody for Trane’s “Naima” is reinterpreted with lyrics, and “Footprints” takes a spiritually-minded approach to Wayne Shorter’s original. The opening title track is funkier than anything on Astral Traveling, taking a cue from Herbie’s slick arp basslines on Head Hunters released the previous year. “Sais,” composed by a pre-Juicy Fruit James Mtume, opens side B with some proper stretched-out afrofuturism before settling into gorgeous ballad “Peaceful Ones,” featuring some of Lonnie’s most divine Rhodes playing and a tender vocal from Donald. Ace reissue by Real Gone Music on coke bottle clear clear vinyl with full repro gatefold jacket, recommended.
