AllMusic

Experiment Zero is an album by the American band Man or Astro-man? It was released in 1996 by Touch and Go Records.

Production

Produced by Steve Albini, the album was recorded in three days.

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that the band "deploys a manic punk velocity, and sprinkles its music with sine-wave oscillator noises and space-documentary sound bites; otherwise its material is fairly faceless." The Austin American-Statesman concluded that, as "a celebration of robotic white-guy stiffness, this music has the soul of a Jetsons episode."
