Hmm, hard one between Millions and TNT; Standards is also great. I tend to listen to TNT more often though, particularly for the jazzier leanings, so that's where my vote goes.

as this poll proves hahah...Millions and TNT are the twin peaks of the mighty Tortoise, not that Standards and the others are not as good, but these 2 albums really encapsulated everything they were about..............

I only have the first three. So far none of them have really engaged my enthusiasm that much, though they do sound good. I like "Millions" and "TNT" better than the debut. I'll pass on voting.

No vote at this time as I've only heard Millions Now Living Will Never Die in full. That album was recommended to me a while back. I'd heard of Tortoise but never heard them until two people at PA recommended the band to me, and I was seriously impressed. I do plan to get TNT next.

TNT is great but I don't think the parts with 90's electronic breakbeats & drum 'n ' bass has aged well. I guess maybe the more inventive, playful and jazzier Standards would suit your preferences better. If you really enjoyed Millions, you'll need both eventually. I love their loose, calm, atmospheric and abstract debut as well. |

It'sd All Around You is kinda underrated but it is an awesome lush fusion cinematic experience. Beacons is a more gritty motorik synth-led krautwerk!!
