Tortoise first album is so underrated

[@matthewsmith8249]

When TNT was released (refusing to use the word “dropped”), it was so transcendent. First truly new sound in a very very long time. A “what’s next” for adults who grew up with prog, rock, punk, new wave and so on we needed something new, original and very high quality. For discerning music enthusiasts.
