The Steve Reich and Ennio Morricone-influenced modes the band would later explore are faintly suggested. Tortoise: Dan Bitney, John Herndon, John McEntire, Douglas McCombs, Bundy K. Brown. This self-titled debut finds the band embryonic but undeniably accomplished.

Reviews4.5 stars out of 5 - "Chicagoan post-rocker's debut album, and still their best. Out of the weird, spooky, clanking noises come 'proper tunes'. Xylophones have never sounded sexier...", "...Tortoise makes music that's strictly for musicians. It's the kind of precise, methodical, endlessly repetitive performance that pays much more attention to sound texture and the interplay between the players than to rhythm, melody or song structure...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...Tortoise Still Sounds both Gripping And, in No Small Way, Revolutionary."
