"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)

"The world wasn't exactly waiting for another Mercury Rev record," says frontman Jonathan Donahue. See You on the Other Side, the 1995 album from the Buffalo, NY band, had performed poorly, which put Donahue in a dark place, all the while almost splitting up the sextet. He retreated at home in the Catskill Mountains and re-revisited some of his favorite records, which lead to Donahue recording some rough demos, and that was the start of Deserter's Songs, the 4th LP from Mercury Rev, originally released in 1998. Lush and dreamlike, the brilliant 12-tracker explores the most psychedelic & immersive sides of pop. The tracks are strange and beautiful: sorta like Disney tunes but with poisoned cores. Mellotron, Chamberlin, saw, woodwinds and brass make for a grand backdrop, and combined w/ Donahue's vocals, the tracks blurt out a bevy of emotions, from the hopeful and romantic to aching & melancholic. Check out the powerful opener "Holes," or the jarring "Opus 40" & "Endlessly." "Tonite It Shows" and "Goddess On a Hiway" are also highlights, and the the bleak piano playing in "I Collect Coins" is one of the most memorable moments on the record.
