Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – the bonkers sound collage / 2000 skratch odyssey from the
musical genius that is Kid Koala – gets the 25th Anniversary reissue treatment from Ninja
Tune. A true musical visionary, Eric San aka Kid Koala combined a sensei-like approach to
his craft with wild humour, giving his art an utterly inimitable quality. A dedicated
turntablist (“turntablism”: the art of using turntables as a musical instrument to create
original sounds, mixes, and rhythms), San recorded Carpal Tunnel Syndrome entirely on
turntables, hand-cutting vinyl records onto an eight-track recorder. The result is an
eccentric, joyful romp through his uniquely warped and brilliant mind
