"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)

There's a certain strain of just below the surface pop that seems to be gain more traction with every year. The main signpost are the vulnerable, light, falsetto vocals of a young but world weary male singer. The backing might be forward moving R&B, slightly retro AOR, or some sort of post dubstep melange. Tropics (aka Chris Ward) builds his own unique sound starting with uncomplicated but compelling piano. From there come welcome additions from live band members Keith Vaz and Morgan Hislop, along with rhythmic contributions from specialist jazz drummer Gillan McLaughlin. It's a singular sound that provides the ideal environment for Ward's vocals. And he's found greater confidence in his voice since his earlier recordings. They're a bit androgynous, not unlike Innovative Leisure labelmates Rhye, while the lyrics are direct and assured. You can hear the influence of the Beach Boys, Max Roach and Arthur Russell floating throughout the album. There are ambient passages that become punctuated by McLaughlin's avant garde drumming as the sounds become more layered. You get the idea that there is plenty to dig into with Rapture. It's definitely an album that unfolds the more you listen to it.
