about

The Farm Tapes Series features demos, finished recordings and sonic experiments recorded between 1985 and 2001 by Todd Parker with the only requirement being that the recordings were produced on a cassette 4-track machine. A Fostex X-15 was used until 1989 and from then on a Yamaha MT3X was the primary recorder.

Volume 1 - Welcome to the Farm Tapes

The Farm Tapes, Vol. 1 contain recordings that span the era from 1988's twisted Dance With the Wicked Witch through the late 90's psychedelic demos for Percolate and Jimmy Colored Glasses which appeared in re-recorded form on the Tadpoles' albums, Smoke Ghost and Whirlaway.

Track Name: King Of The Castle: I'm the king of the castle
Master of all I survey
Look directly into my eyes
And I might just let you stay

King of the castle

Waiting in my little world
Where all is made of gold
Look directly into my eyes
Watch yourself explode

King of the castle

I'm the king of the castle
Direction is lost on the way
Cannot see what's in front of me
Behind is where you stay

King of the castle
Track Name: Jimmy Colored Glasses (Original Demo): Never thought that I'd feel so sad
Never wanted anything I had
And its time that I learned to see
It's enough to just believe

We all will pass away
No one makes us stay
If there's any way to make it good
I think that I should

Wicked Witch
