Release Date
22 June 1994
Tortoise's self-titled debut incorporates many musical styles and influences and combines them into one very distince sound. So distinct that sometime after the release of this record they became recognized as the leaders of a new musical movement.

Recorded at Idful Studios by John McEntire. View wiki
