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.
