Search - Aluminum Tadpole :: More Of The Same

In a small suburban town in the mid 1980s, three high school classmates disenchanted by popular radio decided to make music of their own that would be rife with inside jokes, obscure references, and non sequiturs. Over the course of five years they fulfilled that pact, producing an oeuvre that is almost as impressive in scope as it is alienating in nature. Inspired by Talking Heads, Jonathan Richman, Elvis Costello, Television, Brian Eno, Jethro Tull, The Residents, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and Negativland, their songs are often reflective of the obsessions and confusions typical of the male teen-age psyche. Through the miracle of digital technology, Aluminum Tadpole's underground sound is now catapulting forth into the new millennium like a bat out of Meat Loaf's hall closet. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when a Fostex 4-track cassette recorder represented the pinnacle of bedroom home studio technology, and served as the weapon of choice for guerilla musicians everywhere.
This CD is a compilation of favorite tracks from the band's three original albums ?The Clever Whatever?, ?Non Compos Mentis?, and ?That's Not The Cow I Ordered!?.
