Production

This album consisted of tracks from the albums "Don't Be Afraid" (done by Kurt Harland alone) and "InSoc Recombinant" (a remix album, again a solo work by Harland), along with different mixes of "Are Friends Electric?" and "What's On Your Mind", and a cover of a Madonna song (which had been made for Cleopatra's tribute album entitled "Virgin Voices Vol. 1: A Tribute To Madonna").

The album was produced by Cleopatra from archived material without any involvement from the band. Despite being listed in the liner notes as the album's producer, singer Kurt Harland did not work on it, and did not know of it before it was released.

The band's reactions

Paul Robb says this is "not an Information Society record" and "an insult to both the band and the fans". He also detested the cover art, calling it "dreadful". [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001MMGHC]

Despite refusing to "endorse or un-endorse" it, Kurt Harland expressed a strong dislike regarding the cover art, for being poorly done and for depicting him bearing a firearm. [http://community.livejournal.com/insoc/16324.html?thread=49604#t49604]

The band has referred to it in their MySpace blog as "that horrible Cleopatra abomination".
