Information Society: Are Friends Electric?
- Are Friends Electric? (Edit)

I find it rather interesting that the first Information Society single in
almost a decade is a cover song rather than new material. Far be it for me to
conclude that some lousy marketing representative has no idea what he is doing.
Regardless, the single has seriously hyped the return of one of the better
Synth-Pop Dance bands of the 80's. However be warned the only original member
of the project is Kurt Harland. All the rest of the fomer members have gone
on to release projects of their own, most notably being Paul Robb's "Think Tank"
project available on Hakatak Records. Musically the single is a good example
of the modernized Information Society with a new overall Electro spin to the
music. Kurt has been keeping rather busy these days donating several tracks to
compilations, like Control-Alt-Delete (Information Society Fanzine), and scoring
several video games including the new X-Men arcade game. So his musical skills
simply haven't had time to dull and the these three tracks most certainly prove
it.
