Man or Astro-man? has been making great surf rock records for years, and this one is no exception. It doesn't break any new ground, but it is quality stuff and well worth the money.

This review is from: What Remains Inside: b Sides (Audio CD)

This CD is collection of singles that makes an excellent introduction to this spacey band of the 90's. Highly innovative, Man or Astroman defies categorization or explanation!

2.0 out of 5 stars comme ci, comme ca, April 4, 2003

This review is from: What Remains Inside a Black Hole (Audio CD)

Plain and simple, this is repetitious, garden-variety surf music, and nothing more, done better by many others old and new.
Man Or AstroMan are nothing more than a novelty act with removable cogs; the band has changed personnel countless times, yet the sound remains the same.
There is very little variety in choice of keys (usually E or A-minor), little variety in tempo, and plenty of empty schtick; occasional sound effects, movie snippets, etc.
A better alternative might be Shadowy Men From a Shadowy Planet, a Canadian trio who are able to play the field alot better in the rock instrumental field, with more competent musicianship.
Granted, Man or AstroMan are not about musicianship; then again, they aren't about much of anything.
