artwork"Specific Gravity" sports a melody riff that hovers over the rhythmic backtrack well, but is only present occasionally. besides, it's a vocal.

The Miracle Of Genuine Pyrex dotdotdot
Space Rock (Instrumental)

Space weirdness opens before the guitar chop boys launch into a speedy grind progression awaiting a melody. Big drive, low focus. The rhythmic chops are cool, but a melody would make it work.

Like A Giant Microwave dotdotdot
Space Rock (Instrumental)

Evil hokey space grind, quirky nonsense, filler for a nut house scene. It's inventive, but mostly non-melodic and strange.

Man Made Of CO2 dotdotdot
Space Rock (Instrumental)

Fire down below, raging whammy and twang, giant riffs... lots of semi spy weirdness, and some nice guitar handling. Fills and whammy do not a song make, but "Man Made Of CO2" has more going for it than the rest of the tracks here.

400 Individual Magnets dotdotdot
Space Rock (Instrumental)

Thick and chunky, rhythmic and estranged from your day job, but direly in need of a melody. It has inventive chops, but no focus.
