I'm really into this Kid Koala album. Listening to it feels like chatting with a friend who just returned from Europe, full of cool tales about driving on the other side of the road. You'll be sipping your coke, nodding, and eager to hear more. What makes this record special is its pure musical form. It's not club - friendly, won't hit the top 40 on the radio, and it all sprang from one kid's imagination. This 15 - track album is filled with short, scribble - like pieces. Just like the previous LP, Kid Koala creates records from records. He delivers nerd - funk on 'Stompin at Le Savoi,' geek - ska uprock on 'Skanky Panky,' and dirtstyle electro - dork on 'Annie's Parlor' produced by D - Styles. These tracks are more like concept skits than regular songs, and many are sequels to tracks from Carpal Tunnel. For example, 'Robochacha' makes a self - conscious robot dance, 'Elevator Hopper' puts the character from 'Bar Hopper' in an elevator with a sassy blonde, and 'Basin Street Blues' is an updated 'Drunk Trumpet.' My favorite, 'On the Set of Fender Bender,' offers a behind - the - scenes look with a sad yet beautiful violin sample. It's hard to describe, but it's definitely one of the most original tracks of 2003. Don't just take my word; discover it for yourself and connect with your inner koala. The package includes a 50 - page comic and a digital download. It was originally released in 2003 under the Ninja Tune label in 2013 and comes as a black vinyl pressing.
To enjoy this Kid Koala vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Carefully take the vinyl out of its sleeve by holding the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Place it gently on the turntable. Set the tonearm at the beginning of the record and let the music play. You can also access the digital download. Just follow the instructions provided in the package to download the album to your preferred device. When you're done listening, put the vinyl back in its sleeve. Store it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Regarding the 50 - page comic, handle it with care to avoid tearing. You can read it while listening to the album to get a full experience of Kid Koala's creative world.
