"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)

Jane From Occupied Europe is Brummie art punk crew Swell Maps’ second and final album. It takes the fomula outlined on A Trip To Marineville - ferocious punk jams punctuated with atmospheric passages - and pushes it even further into a dreamlike, kaleidoscopic sound world; almost Sgt. Peppers-esque, even. Steampipe drones bubble through Kevin Paul Godfrey’s (operating under the name Epic Soundtracks) unrelenting beats to set the stage on atmospheric opener “Robot Factory.” From there the lads launch into a string of end-of-days numbers turnt all the way up… Adrian Nicholas Godfrey’s (aka Nikki Sudden) submerged hollering barely cuts through “Border Country”’s chunky guitars, flying cymbals and abused piano strings. The riffs are so fucking thick on “Cake Shop Girl” that the synth lead just barely squeals through on the hook; one of the record’s most resonating moments. The centerpiece is an arch of instrumental jams, ranging from straight noise (“Mining Villages”) and ferocious noise rock (“Big Maz In The Desert”) to sleazy disco (“Collision With A Frogman”), dystopian funk (“Vs. The Mangrove Delta Plan”) and Jaco Pastorious on speed (“Big Empty Field”). Jane comes to her dreary conclusion with somber piano ballad “A Raincoat’s Room,” a fitting final chapter for a band that would burn out just as sensationally as they exploded onto the scene only three years prior. Originally released on Rough Trade in 1980, this nice reissue comes courtesy of Secretly Canadian (Marineville also available) with download code, recommended.
- black vinyl pressing
- digital download included
- music label: Secretly Canadian 2012
