"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)

2015 reissue of Phoenix's third album from 2006. Originally released at a time when every band with a guitar was moving toward the dancefloor, the French pop masters were just packing up and leaving the club. After two albums of minor disco infusions, the appropriately titled It's Never Been Like That finds the foppy Frenchmen brushing up on their rock chops and lobbing off the excess fat that sometimes found its way onto their past efforts (i.e. shambling, sloppy country-influenced joints). Instead, tracks like "Consolation Prize" are sharp and fully-formed, mimicking the cheerier, janglier riffs of The Smiths' Johnny Marr; "Long Distance Call" and "One Time Too Many" show Phoenix's airy, catchy side, too, and a penchant for light-hearted semi-narratives. And about 2/3 of the way through the album, when I thought I had Phoenix pegged, they throw a curveball: "North" is the album's lone instrumental, 5 minutes full of intricate and hypnotic guitar work. Also recommended: the album-closing 1-2 punch of "Sometimes In The Fall" and "Second To None." 10 tracks; 42 minutes total.
