Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars A complete waste.......2006-02-04

This CD is simply terrible. For pretty much all of the classic InSoc that got radio play, check out the Tommy Boy released Greatest Hits album, which includes a decent newer remix of Running on it as well. If you're interested in more of Kurt's InSoc after Don't Be Afraid, there's pretty much nothing. If you're desperate, there's two good tracks on InSoc: Recombinant (the Rosetta Stone mix of Closing In and the Astralasia mix of Empty), but the rest is just bad mixes of DBA and of kurt's sub-par re-recordings of early InSoc.

1 out of 5 stars I'll pass on this one.......2005-06-06

Hearing the short clips and reading what others,including Insoc member,Paul had to say,I will definitely NOT buy this CD. It's a shame that these tracks were not better presented.

2 out of 5 stars Don't Be Afraid??.......2005-03-30

Im not sure what this album is yet.Ive had to listen to it twice to understand and here is my diagnosis...The album title should be Dont Be Afraid 2 basically NOT..(PURE ENERGY)considering most of the songs on here are remixes of Dont Be Afraid and this does not even pay tribute to all there hard work and where insoc came from.Why not put remixes from all albums and put them on a 2 disc set and give the fans a tribute album instead of this.The only track on here i liked was the remix of walking away that's where my 2 stars come in everything else im sorry but i was disappointed i hope cleopatra can put together another compilation that doesn't focus on just 1 album.

1 out of 5 stars this is "NOT" Information Society.......2005-02-13

If I could rate a "0" star...I would. Stay away from this CD. Listen to Paul Robb's review. He was one of the members of INSOC. and the true sound of the band.

This is Kurt Hurlands solo project and some horrible remixes of the older sutff put into one CD just to sell by the label to make a few bucks.

Kurt should have never ruined the name of INSOC by using it is such vein to put out his solo project and to allow this awful label (Cleapatra) to market and tarnish it.

its a shame.

BTW.....to the person whom reviewd this album that said this is "for die hard fans only" obviously has no clue whom INSOC is or works for the label.

1 out of 5 stars Paul Robb's Review.......2004-09-22

Anyone who has any affection for Information Society will avoid this abomination at all costs. This is not Information Society; this is a sleazy record company (Cleopatra) using Kurt's ill-advised and poorly executed re-recordings of the vocal parts of our old songs, and then getting local DJ's and a few small-time industrial luminaries to recreate the music tracks.

Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against Kurt's post-Insoc work, even though it's not really my thing. But this wretched mess is nothing but a cheap attempt to sell a few thousand records, and dupe the remaining fans into buying something that is NOT AN INFORMATION SOCIETY RECORD, and as such, it's an insult to both the band and the fans.

Post-breakup Kurt fans take note: Kurt Harland Larson had nothing to do with this record. If I had known something like this was possible, I never would have agreed to let Kurt have the group name.

Anyway, please don't reward the scoundrels at Cleopatra by buying this record.

And, oh my God! Check out that dreadful cover art.
