"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)

It’s hard to imagine today's world without Kid A. In October of 2000, the incorporation of sampling, synthesizers and computers in rock music was anything but commonplace. Radiohead took a giant leap on the heels of 1997's guitar-heavy Ok Computer, their most successful album to date, and dove head first into IDM, techno and ambient music. Many fans were initially dumbfounded, but an entire generation of future musicians took inspiration from their bold dismissal of traditional rock instrumentation and arrangement. Recording sessions nearly dissolved the band; with Thom Yorke insisting that guitar and drums had no place on certain tracks, the band members were forced to reinvent their roles in the group, instead focusing on vocoder, modular synths, ondes martenot and sound processing. The few instances of straight-ahead rock (“Optimistic,” “National Anthem”) are some of the best pieces in their oeuvre, but the more experimental tracks (“Everything In It’s Right Place,” “Idioteque,” the title track) are by far the most potent. “Idioteque” remains a deadly peak-time tool in techno and electro sets to this day. Previously only available on vinyl as a double 10" set, this is the first time Kid A has been released on full sized 12" LPs (and don’t miss Kid A’s underrated companion piece, Amnesiac, also reissued on double 12"). The album comes in the same original gatefold sleeve with artwork by Stanley Donwood and Tchock (Thom Yorke). 10 tracks total with digital download included. Recommended.
- black double vinyl pressing
- first time pressed on 12" LPs
- housed in gatefold jacket w/ printed inner sleeves
- digital download included
- original release year: 2000
- music label: XL Recordings 2016
