Tortoise's third studio album TNT is released. In and out of print over the past decade we are happy to finally give everyone what they have been asking for - TNT on vinyl again! Pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, the two LPs are packaged in a deluxe old-style tip-on gatefold jacket fully replicating the original artwork and includes a download coupon for the first time!

Scott Hedegard

Misleading album title for some truly beautiful music

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

One thing about Tortoise: they sound like nobody else, and from album to album stretch their creativity to points that lesser bands would falter and trip over. Though nominally a jazz rock band, Tortoise defy easy categorization at every turn, but always deliver music that might very well exist in the jazz/psychedelic realm in parallel universes.
While the debut "Tortoise" was a sparse incredibly spaced out affair, and "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" a blending of that sparse element with some more grooves and more intricate guitar, "TNT" is a rich beautiful album that like "It's All Around You" showcases their musicianship and is full of luxurious melodies with a touch of jazz and ethereal pop to lift it up into truly rarified atmospheres.
Far from being dull or self promoting, "TNT" is one of those albums, as are all Tortoise albums designed for everybody, with music so dreamy and so good that vocals would indeed be little else than an intrusion into a soundscape that communicates on a different level of communication entirely.
This is a band made for the night. I can't imagine a better setting to listen to this or any Tortoise album than on a cool clear moonlight night out away from city lights and gazing into the stars. Perhaps this is where the truly cosmic music exists, and only a very very few people have the capabilities to pick up those signals. I'd certainly put Tortoise in that league.

A nice relaxing innovative piece of work.

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2002

This is my first Tortoise CD... it makes me want to own all of their other work. There are many laid-back tracks as well as upbeat and very experimental ones. There is a hige mix of different kinds of genres all rolled into one for a very diverse, unique album. From the mellow, jazzy tunes of "TNT" and "Swung from the gutters", to the chilling, icy feel of "Ten-Day Interval" and "Four-Day Interval" to the quirky, upbeat, idealistic tune of "Jetty," TNT is blissfully pleasing from start to finish. Also, you don't just listen to the music, you picture it. "Suspension Bridge at Iguazú Falls" makes me think of a bridge over tropical waterfalls. My favorite song though, has to be "I Set My Face to the Hillside" I can almost picture being in Italy or Greece or something. "Ten-Day Interval" makes me feel like i'm exploring mountains in Iceland. Anyways, you won't regret buying this, weather you're a long time Tortoise fan, or if you're just looking for something that will stand out in your collection and this is your first tortoise CD, like me.

One of their better records.

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2012

This one is where everything seems to come together. The overt minimalism of the first is drowned out with more rhythm and complexity and the noodling is kept in check for the most part. I think people will mostly enjoy a record like this even if they are not into Tortoise. Of course you still get accusations of going nowhere but it simply isn't true here. This one is more focused, more dense, and a lot of fun. Songs like TNT, Ten-Day Interval, and Suspension Bridge are a fine testament to the skills of the players. Songs like A Simple Way... will remind you of the debut a little too much but I think there is a touch more sophistication overall than the first record in the sound and layers. The tone overall is quite different, more foreign and wild than the other two records, and some might not prefer this sound but I find it more thematic, energetic, and a bit more cohesive.

GOOD STUFF.

"TNT" by Tortoise is rife with lush soundscapes, compositions with tasteful tranquility, and an overall ambience that provides the listener with aural enjoyment of an orgasmic nature.
As you can tell, I really dig this album. The "repeat" function is frequently used on my CD player whenever this disc is played. Highly recommended.

Classic album

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2009

Tortoise es una de las 5 bandas mas importantes del post-rock experimental, o al menos, es una banda sin paralelo y que mas bien sirve de influencia hoy en dia de bandas novatas dentro del post-rock.
Gran parte del exito de Tortoise se debe a la gran calidad de sus musicos, todos multi-instrumentalistas que conocen y manejan notablemente sus instrumentos, excelentes compositores, improvisadores e innovadores, por lo tanto, tiene muchos elementos esenciales para ser una de las bandas más importantes del post-rock y de la musica en general, aunque no sea muy conocida en otras latitudes, principalmente latinoamerica.
Despues de un album debut en el que nos introduce muchas ideas innovadoras pero sin cohesion en algunos casos, con un sonido altamente autentico, tortoise encontro el rumbo y la manera para canalizar todas esas ideas de una manera mas coherente con este disco TNT. Y vaya que lo hicieron perfecto!!! No hay una etiqueta que se ajuste de la mejor manera para describir la musica de este album, de hecho solo hace falta repasar los reviews de los otros costumers para darse cuenta que cada uno le da al menos 3 generos distintos a la musica del album y es que precisamente eso es lo que hace Tortoise, una mezcla de generos tan variados que el resultado es simple y sencillamente el mejor disco de su catalogo (a mi parecer, aunque muchos creen que es el millions now...) y una obra esencial dentro del post-rock experimental.
La razon del porque considero este su mejor disco se basa principalmente en que no hay otro album dentro de la carrera de la banda que suena mas organico que este, y eso es decir mucho, pues Tortoise se caracteriza y se diferencia de cualquier banda por el protagonismo de samplers, sintetizadores, secuenciadores, moduladores, teclados y sonidos computarizados, tanto así, que despues de este album, han creado canciones y discos enteros a partir de sonidos creados por estos elementos.
Pero TNT cuenta con arreglos de guitarra, trumpeta, sax baritono y sobre todo vibes y xilofono que lo hacen tan organico como cualquier disco de jazz, todo en complicidad con la nueva tecnologia creando un sonido tan fresco y original que hacen de tortoise una banda innovadora y pionera.
Este disco representa un gran paso adelante en la carrera de la banda, despues de 2 maravillosos discos, en donde la banda claramente mostraba su refinada calidad musical e innovacion, con el TNT Tortoise alcanza el pinaculo de su carrera en tan solo su 3er disco y dejaba sembrada una alta expectativa de su proximo paso, pero desde mi punto de vista este sexteto de chicago no ha vuelto lamentablemente a producir un disco de este calibre, no por eso se le puede negar que es una banda que no se conforma con lo que la industria de la musica hace, ni sigue esquemas establecidos, sino mas bien siguen explorando terrenos nunca antes explorados marcando pautas y se diferencia de las demas, es por eso que se les respeta aun cuando sus discos posteriores al TNT tenga canciones tan libres que ni metrica tengan, sino mas bien sean tan solo experimentos hechos en secuenciadores y lap steels, tan libres que hasta dificilmente se les puedan considerar canciones, pero cuando un grupo como Tortoise lanza al mercado un nuevo album sea lo que sea que contenga el disco, es un gran suceso, asi de importante es esta banda y esa reputacion se la creo gracia a discos como este, una verdadera joya!!!

PD: por favor no juzguen el album por su portada, pues eso es lo unico malo que tiene el mismo.

Grandissimo album dei tortoise che rispetto al suo miliare predecessore abbraccia fusion e jazz.
Incisione perfetta per una produzione che dilata la scena sonora in maniera esponenziale: sembra quasi di poter toccare la band allungando una mano. Tanta dinamica in questa ristampa.
Eccellente.

One of the best instrumental albums of all time

Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2019

TNT is a masterpiece. It takes a journey through tons of electronic and acoustic soundscapes, flowing effortlessly from sound to sound and emotion to emotion. Of special note are the polyrhythmic Marimba drone Ten-Day Interval, the exploratory wonder of The Equator, and the final trial of Almost Always…/Jetty. A 10/10 album that always leaves me completely floored.

Highly recommended; better for chilling out than any collection of Ibiza-associated tunes. Tortoise are never obvious, so it takes a few listens before the album really starts to work its magic...but when it does you'll be enchanted. Great!
