==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played Kid Koala's material in September 1997 where he played his track, 'Statics Waltz'. Three years later, Kid Koala released his album, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which was recommended by Peel as one of his records for January 2000 (Peel's Record Box). The track, 'Music For Morning People' from the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome album was one of Peel's choices for the Peelenium 2000. In March 2000, Kid Koala did a session for Peel's programme.
