"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)

I’ve been surprised to learn in the past few years that different people have different touchstones with this record; for most its the Nellee Hooper mix of “6 Underground” which was inescapable in 1996, for DJs and house heads its “Spin Spin Sugar” (the dark garage mix is one of Armand Van Helden’s greatest remixes). For me it’s actually the title track, which I randomly found on a Napster trip-hop deep dive 20 years ago. Surprisingly, for such a cool and big record, it’s always been hard to find on wax (One Little Indian must be focusing their resources on keeping Bjork’s catalog in print, for which we’re eternally grateful). Sneaker Pimps started out as a duo recording instrumental trip-hop but decided they wanted to incorporate vocals for their debut album, and Kelli Dayton was recruited after they spotted her singing in a pub. She was kicked out of the band after this record because the other blokes stupidly thought they could handle the vocals themselves (*Julia Roberts voice* “big mistake… huge!”). The overall production will be familiar to anyone versed in the sounds of Cool Britannia™, but taken as a set of 11 distinct pop songs, Becoming X rises above all the other moody fondue music of the time as perfectly-distilled pop - this could easily be a Massive Attack-produced Madonna album. In addition to the aforementioned big tracks, check out “Post-Modern Sleaze,” Portishead-by-numbers “Walking Zero” and the more textural pieces like “Waterbaby” and “How Do.” Black double vinyl pressing with glossy printed inner sleeves, full album lyrics and liner notes.
**It should be noted that this pressing is not entirely faithful to the original incarnation of the album - it contains the more well-known remix versions of “6 Underground,” “Becoming X,” “Spin Spin Sugar” and “Post-Modern Sleaze” as opposed to the original album versions; check the audio tab for samples.
- double vinyl pressing
