rehearsal studio except for a rare local club appearance. Smoke Ghost featured a significant song-writing contribution from Nick Kramer, who wrote half the material. Tadpoles recorded their final studio album, Whirlaway, (producing themselves this time,) at Ampreon Recorder in Youngstown, Ohio. Engineer Pete Drivere captured the live feel of the expansive set of songs; and, the result was the first Tadpoles album released on a label other than Bakery Records. Australia's Camera Obscura Records released Whirlaway in 1999, again garnering rave reviews and new fans for the group. Whirlaway's long instrumental closing track, "Horse and Buggy", was recorded at Manhattan's Knitting Factory by their long-time producer, Kramer; and, Tadpoles mixed an entire version of the album with Gene Holder (The dB's), although only a few of these mixes were used. (Drivere's mix was preferred by the band.) Sharing the bill with Thurston Moore and Half Japanese, Tadpoles gave their final performance in February 2000 at a sold-out show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, which was the first time they ever played their legendary hometown club. Later in 2000, Todd Parker announced that the group was going on an “indefinite hiatus” and they disbanded. In 2001, Bakery Records released Use With Headphones Late At Night- Best of 1990-2000, a remastered compilation featuring tracks from each studio album, along with alternate mixes. A decade later, in 2011, Bakery released Feel Like A Freak (A Historical Sideshow of Missing Links, a second compilation album of previously unreleased studio tracks and alternate mixes. Since the Tadpoles disbanded, David Max, Nick Kramer and Adam Boyette, reformed Hit and released the vinyl EP Quosibility and completed a currently unreleased album See It Majestic. David Max became a member of seminal psychedelic electronic noise group, Psychic TV (PTV3) along with Edward Odowd (who played drums on 2 tracks on Tadpoles’ Far Out album.) David Max performs guitar on the 2007 PTV3 album, Hell is Invisible... Heaven is Her/e and the 2008 PTV3 album, Mr. Alien Brain vs the Skinwalkers. David appears in the 2011 documentary film by Marie Losier, The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye. In 2007, Nick Kramer, along with Alex Kress, released an album of duets/covers, "Nicholas & Alexandra." In 2010, David Max released a solo album, Simple Psychedelic Pleasures and Todd Parker released an album, Greetings From The Star Chamber by his solo project, Todd Parker and The Witches, reuniting him with original Tadpoles'
