Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their prolific, fiercely entertaining exploration of instrumental surf-punk, Man or Astro-Man? delivers another high-speed, B-movie-obsessed effort. 'Intravenous Television Continuum' perfectly matches frantic, reverb-drenched guitar runs strictly with obscure sci-fi television audio clips and alien sound effects. The record brilliantly maintains their unique, highly theatrical fusion of retro-futurism and 90s alternative energy.
