Ninja Tuna is the fourth studio album by British record producer Andrew "Mr. Scruff" Carthy, released on 6 October 2008 through Carthy's personal Ninja Tune imprint Ninja Tuna.
The track "Kalimba" (a pop rock song with synthesizers that also contains influences from jazz, electronic and dance pop) was selected by Microsoft as the sample music for Windows 7 to demonstrate the new Windows Media Player.[citation needed]
A compilation of outtakes from the album, entitled Bonus Bait, was released the following year.
In 2009, it was awarded a silver certification (indicating sales of at least 30,000 copies throughout Europe) from the Independent Music Companies Association.[3]
