“Toad” refers to Ginger Baker’s drum solo in the song of that name, from 1968’s Wheels of Fire, sampled in the first half of this song. “No Toad” refers to the second half, which contains no toad.
The title somewhat refers to the TV show “Lost”, and the underground bunker used by the mysterious Dharma Initiative, but mostly it refers to Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker, and his masterful drum solo from the song “Dharma For One” from the band’s 1968 debut album. All the drum and percussion sounds in my song are sampled (and heavily mutated) from the Tull song.
Recently in our backyard… Video of the pond is by Lynda, including the very vocal bullfrogs heard throughout.
