Postphonic Star Exploration is one of many EPs Man or Astro-man? released in 1995. It is a 5" record (smaller than the standard 7") and was released on black vinyl and clear green vinyl through Sympathy for the Record Industry.

Critical reception

The album featured what the reviewer for Maximum Rocknroll called "two songs in that rich vein of [Man or Astro-man?] sci-fi surf." However, the reviewer, "Dr Dante," added that it was "pretty safely missable," because the a-side original—the b-side is a cover—was "no doubt bound for LP inclusion" and because a reader "probably can't play 5-inchers on [their] turntable."

German zine Bierfront was more positive calling the short album "fine and small" (feine und kleine) and describing a-side "Polaris" as "an authentic two-minute cyberspace journey."
