This morning a friend texted me that he had heard Information Society had a new album coming out this September! A long-time fan, I went to their website http://informationsociety.us and confirmed that "_hello world" is the new album and it will be released on September 23rd. The samples of the album sound absolutely AMAZING! Not exactly "retro", as it definitely sounds contemporary, but it definitely has their signature sound and style. Kurt's distinctive vocals and delivery sound strong as ever.
Then, as icing on the cake, I discovered that the band has an online store http://informationsociety.bandcamp.com/ where you can buy 11 of their releases including many hard to find classic tracks in various formats (MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless etc)! So at the moment I'm in a bit of synthpop heaven! I just bought their new 6-track single "Land Of The Blind" which includes the "_hello world" album version, 4 absolutely bangin' remixes and the exclusive track "Me And My Rhythm Box"! If you've ever been a fan, I can't urge you enough to check into their new stuff! It's like an electro-christmas
Oh yeah, if all this wasn't enough, I also learned that their old record label, Tommy Boy Records, has released a dozen new 2014 remixes of their classic hit "Running"! So far I've bought the Eric Kupper mix, but some of the others are quite interesting...
