For me, this is the equivalent of musical slapstick. Or musical farce even. Maybe a mix of both. Because this shit sounds like samples getting fucked up, in a humorous way. Why should good music be so serious all the time? Expect to hear some of the most random samples ever put together, and expect to laugh at some of the unexpected juxtapositions of sounds. This music is great for a laugh. It may not be good for everyday listening, but you should listen to it at some point.

I'm not sure if it is on every release but my copy of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has a game on it called Vinoids, which is pretty much the same as the classic asteroids game, just that the asteroids are replaced with records.
Review by imlikeajungle Dec 01, 2002
Slightly easier is the following: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a compilation of funny sounds created with some turntables and a huge portion of humour, placed in "songs". It's not an album you'll listen to everyday but it's more like a "look what I bought, man"-album. It's great.
Oh, yeah, last thingie: when Kid Koala plays live, you see a rather short yellow man, laughing and scratching with an unbelievable amount of fun. He knows exactly what he's doing. And I know it doesn't always look like that.
Always finish with a quote: here is what the cover says: "Free CD with this book". Kinda clear, no?
