"Possession by Remote Control" is the debut release from Man or Astro-man?. It was released by Homo Habilis Records in 1992 on 7" clear blue vinyl. [http://www.grunnenrocks.nl/bands/m/manorast.htm Man or Astro-man? at Grunnen Rocks] ] The title is explained on the back cover, which reads:

"Transmissions are coming through! TV's are everywhere. You're supposed to watch them. You must watch them. Spewing their enchanting radiation on our children, there's no turning back. They're here to stay for the glazed eyes of generations to come. But their influence extends beyond the family room. They're affecting our young people in all ways. As seen here on this record, Man or Astro-Man? are captive slaves to the idiot tube. Completely enraptured by the uncompromising rays, they have become mindless teens playing the music that the cable god orders them to. And now with the channel changer, sometimes called a flipper or zapper, all hope is lost for the boys. Posseion by Remote Control is the music of zombies controlled by distant and unknown broadcasting centers. In no case has anyone ever spent such a gross waste of time on a device such as television. But just wait until they get a satellite dish!" ["Possession by Remote Control" back cover]
