While they were busy finding a new label and working on their next album, Space released these tracks in order to keep their waiting fans happy.

The songs marked a change in direction from their early material, ditching the old mainstream sound and incorporating a more freelance, experimental mood.

Each song is different in style; for example, "Nothing to Find Her" is inspired by ambient and techno, while "Straight Line" and "The English Language Let Me Down" are more stripped down in approach.

This new sound is evident on their comeback record Suburban Rock 'n' Roll, only that the songs' production is much slicker and stream-lined than those on Music for Aliens.

It was originally available at their Unity Theatre gig in January 2002, but was finally available for download 4 November the same year.
