What began as one of Quintron's practice tapes - the kind that usually
gets erased, lost or thrown away - turned into the perfect album for Halloween
night - or whenever you want to set a spooky mood.
The Frog Tape begins with haunting organ and drum buddy instrumentals,
including "Bride Of Frankenstein", "Stray Cat Strut" the upbeat "Scary
Office" and a creepy cover of an old Johnny Mathis song called "No Love".
Also featured on side one is a demonstration of Mr. Q's eerie new "Backwards"
playing technique. Not a joke of any kind, what you have here sounds like
audio tape of an organ being played in reverse or like a vinyl record
being spun counterclockwise - it's not! Quintron achieves this effect
by damping all of his keyboard attacks with the expression pedal and swells
each chord to full volume so that the "decay" becomes the attack and visa
versa. The result sounds... well, it sounds like he's playing backwards!
And then closing the album, a full side of real life! Actual singing frogs,
no overdubs, performing the strangest, most out of tune symphony of frog
sounds you will ever hear! Part haunted house recording, part field recording,
if you really want to scare people on Halloween night, or if you just
want to hang around with some friends and get disturbed for fun, then
you must have THE FROG TAPE!
