The Medusa is the second studio album released by New Zealand rock group, Tadpole on September 15, 2002. It was recorded over late 2001-early 2002 and was produced by Malcolm Welsford via Antenna Recordings.
Cover art[]
The cover art features Greek mythology's Medusa designed by Geoff Smith at Outer Aspect, with additional artwork by Monique Facon.[1] The 2002 pressings of the album cover were innovative, due to the use of a 3D hologram cover design. To save on costs, the cover from 2003 onward did not have the hologram, instead it included a booklet with lyrics.
Chart performance[]
The Medusa entered the New Zealand Top 40 Albums chart and peaked at #10 on September 15, 2002. The album spent a total of nine weeks on the chart and is the second album to reach the top 10.[2]
