Synopsis

Album Description
Hailing from New Orleans, Quintron is well renowned as the greatest, most exciting, most full of spirit, most rocking and most rollingest one-man-band the world has ever seen! His tours with Miss Pussycat and her Flossie & The Unicorns puppet show are highly anticipated events, and his infomercial for the commercially available "Drum Buddy" electronic device has garnered him legions of new fans on the rock and DJ circuit. The Frog Tape is an altogether different kind of experience. 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. 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." 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!

CD Reviews

Interesting, but not music as I expected

"I discovered Quintron recently. Loved Swamp Tech. Bought Frog Tape thinking, "Cool, more of the same!" Not. Most of this is not musical at all. I don't mean that in a judgmental way, I mean really: it's not music. Sound effects. Experimental noodling. Playing around with eerie sounds. The cover encourages "Play on Halloween night!" Okay, there are a couple of cuts that are actual music, and some of the sounds are interesting, but you're not missing anything there. The longest piece is an actual recording of frogs. This is really for the Quintron fan who has everything else of his. It's interesting, and maybe even fun if you're in the right mood or altered state, but I was expecting...music. None of that damn-it's-hard-not-to-dance-in-my-cube music. So I'm disappointed. But I still love Swamp Tech so much that I'm off to buy some other Quintron. Just thought you oughta know what you're buying."
