"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
"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)

Mr. Bungle's final album saw the Northern California experimenters bringing more focus to their sound. Sure the wild genre hopping was still there, but there's more orchestration and melody, and a heavy lounge vibe permeates the majority of the album. Throughout the record we hear traces of pop, swing, rockabilly, country & western, bossa nova, Hawaiian music, jazz, Zappa doo wop, arty funk, post rock, space age pop, a little Ennio Morricone, warped circus melodies, some pseudo new age, and just a little heavy metal. There are not quite as many random juxtapositions within each song and the song structures are slightly more traditional than on their previous albums. However, there is still plenty of oddball creativity to be found. Both "Retrovertigo" and "Pink Cigarette" take a slow, leisurely walk towards insanity, rather than just jumping right into it. Their melodies are infectious, ready to stay with you for a while. But then "Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy" sounds like they got locked in the studio with Beck and decided to torture him. California is a testament to Mr. Bungle's knack for creativity and their innate musicianship. And let's not forget that the Red Hot Chili Peppers had Warner delay the release of this record so it would not coincide with the release of Californication.
- translucent ruby red colored double vinyl pressing
- includes bonus track 'Gnosterces'
- remastered audio
- gatefold sleeve
- limited edition
- original release year: 1999
- music label: Warner Records 2026
