Editorial Reviews

TNT is Tortoise’s third studio album, originally released in 1998. This re-issue is pressed on high quality virgin vinyl and packaged in a tip-on gatefold jacket with spot UV printing and free download card. TNT builds upon the spare, instrumental framework of the group’s first, self-titled album, and the extended edits, melodic adventures, and klangfarben of the subsequent full-length release, Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Further to this, Tortoise’s interest in the possibilities offered by the remixing of tracks was realized within the actual production of TNT; individual elements, sections, or sometimes whole compositions mutate within the album’s shifting framework. These techniques were suitably realized thanks in part to the use of non-linear digital recording and editing methods, the first example of such work for the group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Misleading album title for some truly beautiful music
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

"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.

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.

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!
