"Man or Astro-Man? are incredible live performers, and you realize it listening to this album. The goofy enthusiasm of Coco and the pure surf power of Starcrunch's ultra-reverbed guitar are what made this band great. The *real* MoAM? can be heard on Cowboy Playing Bomboro -- Starcrunch plays so tight and so fast, my jaw hit the floor the first time I heard this track. Birdstuff is a punk-rock freak of nature as usual on the drums, and Coco's bass comes through better on this album than in most others.Live Transmissions from Uranus is a must-have for any fan of modern surf rock, and the best document of MoAM? before they lost Brian Causey."
More Music, Less Talk

"I love MoAM. They're by far my favorite surf band and listening to them live is a treat. But on this album, while the music is unbelievably good, the back and forth between the band members is horrible.
You can't hear them talk and when you can, they're talking over each other. This is a case where less is more. The bit about dogs and cats being able to hear them sing would be funny if it didn't take three tries to get it out.
Still, awesome music if you can put up with some less-than-witty banter."
Best live album ever

"The best live album I've ever heard. Completely live, uncut: they leave in all the dialogue between songs. Check out their deep Space accents. Amazing performance, amazing sound"

"You know, Man or Astro-man? has some great albums out. "Project Infinity", "Is It ... Man or Astroman?", "Destroy All Astromen!". This isn't one. I've seen this band live a few times and they [...] each time. Damn fine performers. It's been years since I saw 'em though and I felt I might get that experience of a live show with "Live Transmissions From Uranus". I don't remember them talking so much when I saw them. I recall some jokes, but mainly them playing their unique blend of surf rock mixed with elements of new wave and punk, weird sound effects, and of course sound bites of sci-fi B movies. They ruined this album by running their mouths way, way too much onstage. They don't even pull off their jokes, talking over each other and crap. Somebody actually yells from the crowd for them to talk less and play more. I couldn't have agreed more. Weird."
