"Your Weight On The Moon" is an energetic CD release by the cult sci-surf band Man Or Astro-Man?, issued by the independent label Overground. The recording captures the group's trademark fusion of high-octane surf guitar, garage rock drive and retro-futuristic sci-fi aesthetics. Expect twangy, reverb-drenched guitars, rapid-fire rhythms and a playful, space-obsessed atmosphere that feels like the soundtrack to a vintage science-fiction broadcast beamed in from a lost satellite. The CD format underlines the raw, immediate sound of the band's early output and is aimed at fans of 1990s underground rock and adventurous instrumental music with a strong conceptual edge.
