The group Man Or Astro-Man? has been described as „Ventures Meets Devo.“ Their performances are multimedia events in which various film and video images are shown on TV sets placed about the stage. This is due, in part, to the band’s early fascination with film scores and soundtracks.
Man Or Astro-Man? formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1993. They have produced at least 12 records on 7 different labels. Their name comes from a line in the 1962 Japanese science-fiction film The Human Vapor: „Is he…man…or is he…Astro-man?“ Most of their recordings are original instrumentals with creative titles, such as „Space Potatoes,“ „Bermuda Triangle Shorts,“ and „Sadie Hawkins Atom Bomb.“
„Reverb 1000“ has been released three times: two studio versions (one of them retitled „Reverb 10,000“) and a live version, which is presented in this collection. As the tune begins, the band’s bassist, Coco The Electronic Monkey Wizard, explains that it’s about „wetness,“ which pretty much sums up the philosophical meaning of surf music.
