Alot of people here will not be familiar with this group or their work. That fact is both devastating and shameful, I am here, fresh from my Saturn vaction to show everyone the error of their ways by introducing you to MOAM.
If you're a fan of surf rock or tracks like Psychobilly Freakout or Misirlou from GH2 you owe it to yourself to track down the work of these brave Astro-men.

Man or Astro-man? is a surf rock group that formed in Auburn, Alabama in the late 1980s and came to prominence in the 1990s.
Primarily instrumental, Man or Astro-Man? blended the surf rock style of the early 1960s with the new wave and punk rock sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Man or Astro-Man? was known for their anachronistic dedication to science fiction themes, audio samples, obscure electronic devices (such as theremins and tesla coils), and high-energy live performances. Their earlier albums like Is It ... Man or Astroman? and Destroy All Astromen! were known for their traditional surf rock instrumentation and sci-fi sound byte song introductions, but their later albums like EEVIAC... and A Spectrum of Infinite Scale were known for their use of synthesizers and their more abstract, experimental sound. Their recordings were often peppered with sound bytes from forgotten science fiction films and TV shows.
