For those keeping score of the Astro-men’s ever-evolving lineup, the members included on this record include mainstays Coco the Electronic Monkey Wizard and Birdstuff and solo efforts from Trace Reading, Blazar, Q-Beam and the Brannock Device. Since the record is comprised of songs recorded solo or in pairs, they often lack the full force of typical Man or Astro-Man? songs. Songs tend to meander a bit, giving them, to varying degrees, the feel of being tripped-out slow-dub house music or echoing, spinning, fuzzy-screen dream sequences from vintage sci-fi flicks. Reverb-drenched guitars are essentially absent for the majority of the disc, leaving the music to be composed (presumably on computers) of various sound effects, always-interesting film samples, assorted keyboards, and other gizmos.
