Kid Koala – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the debut album of DJ and graphic novelist Kid Koala. This is one of the albums on the list that I do not have in my personal collection and with which I am not familiar, but I'm told that it was released with a comic book drawn by Eric San (a.k.a. Kid Koala) and that the CD includes a video game.

The album was nominated for a Best Alternative Album Juno Award in 2001, placed 29th in CBC Radio's 2013 list of the 100 Greatest Canadian Albums, and has won favourable reviews:
