"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)

Soundtracks For The Blind is the 10th studio album from Swans. Released in 1996, it is the last project from Michael Gira & co. before the group's 1997 dissolution (it reformed in 2010, check To Be Kind). Recorded between 1981 and 1996 (Gira: "This album has everything in there - all the ideas from Swans' initial 15 years of work"), the gist of the expansive project is formed by collected sounds & recordings of Gira and Jarboe (the only constant member other than Gira up until 1997). The Swans leader sifted through a huge amount of material, consisting of everything from moldy cassettes and discs full of samples to FBI surveillance tapes and interview clips of Gira's father, which, he reassembles, loops, mangles, and overdubs to draw out the experimental, multi-layered electronic sketches. Gira compares the arduous creation process to "climbing up a mountain of sand," but the painstaking work paid off, as more than 20 years after, Soundtracks For The Blind stands as complex, inaccessible (in a good way), and inventive as ever. The LP is perhaps not the best introduction to Swans as it is essentially Gira's solo work but nevertheless considered the band's magnum opus. Check out "All Line Up," "Volcano," "Yum-Yab Killers," "Red Velvet Corridor," "Helpless Child," "Blood Section" and "I Was a Prisoner In Your Skull."
