Experiment Zero (1996) was Man or Astro-man?'s debut Touch and Go album. Recorded in three days at the band's own studio Zero Return in Alabama with Steve Albini, it stands as one of the great modern surf-influenced guitar instrumental records. Wanting Experiment Zero to stand as their masterpiece of the long evolution of surf music, Man or Astro-Man? began to evolve at a greater velocity than ever before. They further morphed their sound, extending the use of their samples, computer programming, keyboards, electronic gadgetry and experimental analog tape cutting and pasting. While widely critically acclaimed, long-time fans had a lot of adjusting to do. Where most bands would have grown tired or simply treadmilled the same album over and over Man or Astro-man? continuously reinvented themselves and their live performances.
