Far Out (1996) is the second full length album released on CD by Tadpoles. The album was recorded by the core trio of Todd Parker, David Max and Nick Kramer after drummer, Michael Kite Audino and guitarist Andrew Jackson Shapiro left the group. Guest musicians Edward Odowd (The Toilet Boys / Psychic TV) and Steve Savoca (The Werefrogs) perform drums and percussion on the album. Additional lap steel guitar was provided by Jeff Passifiume (Hank McCoy and The Dead Ringers / The Lost Continentals). "Ride The World Around The Sun" is a rerecording of the song, "Sunshine" from the Tadpoles' Superwhip cassette-only album from 1992. "Old Dirty Mushrooms" was included as a bonus track on the CD version of the album and was not included on the cassette version. "Old Dirty Mushrooms" was recorded in 1991 and features just Todd Parker and drummer, Michael Kite Audino, along with sax by Raj Seshu. Far Out is notable in that it received a 4-star review from Rolling Stone Magazine, a rare feat at the time for an independently released CD.

It might be a star where you are
But it's just the light of a passing car
You might be witnessing lights in the sky
But it's just a reason for the word why
6000 pounds of thrust on your ample bust
Just cannot be denied
when I turned to you and looked right into your eyes
And said
(chorus)
You were never that far out baby
And I don't mind
She was the greatest girl in space and time
And you were never that far our baby
And I can't see
Why she said she just had to be free
It might be an alien conduit
But I think you've been conned into it
You might think that you're speaking in tongues
But on the ladder of life you're on the lower rungs
And when I feel your lust like a solar crust
Out burning in the sky
When I turned to you and looked right into your eyes
