 Information Society - Don't Be Afraid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Paul Robb went off to pursue his own musical direction as Think Tank, who knows where James Cassidy went, and Kurt Harland was left alone to remake Information Society in his own image.
Perhaps the greatest indicator of the band's sound (short of actually listening to the disc, anyway), is the considerable presence of Steven Seibold's name in the credits.
Harland makes a decent attempt at following it up in equally spectacular fashion, with a competent, chunky, cover of Gary Numan's

 Eidos Forums - Music from the trailers not in game (I hope)
There is a trailer on http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/lokdefi/media.html (number 2) that sounds like Kurt's work, but the other 2 are not.
I really hope that Kurt did the music for this game, because the music form the other trailers are not very good (especially for this type of game/atmosphere).
Kurt is most likely going to be busy handling the music for Whiplash.

 thendoftheworldreview: "Don't Be Afraid" by Information Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A frequent complaint by myself of pop artists is that the vocals stink.
In this case melodrama rather than poor production keeps Kurt's vocals in the far corner of the music.
With that, I beg the ultimate quest: Just imagine what it would be like had Kurt and Paul had rejoiced in each other's differences instead of running away from them.

 morons.org - InSoc vs Television, Part 1
One of our volunteer staff, occasional writer, and friend of mine, vector is formerly of the band Information Society (aka InSoc) which had several impressive hits in the late 80's and early 90's including the infamous What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy), Walking Away, and Think.
Around 1994 the band split up, Vector (Kurt Harland Larson) bought the name, and eventually he put out another album, Don't be Afraid (in which you'll find my name, wewt!).
Last year, as part of their " Bands Reunited" program, VH1 attempted to reunite Information Society, and although Kurt never agreed to put on another show, careful editing and poor acting led many a viewer of the program to believe that he had agreed and simply failed to show up.

 The Eidos Interview
JH For "Soul Reaver", the music was composed by Kurt Harland, while I did the adaptive audio programming, as well as being the "technical/creative liaison" between him and Amy Henig, the project's producer/director.
JH The director of the game had some fairly well developed ideas regarding the music, however she chose the composer, Kurt Harland, specifically because she liked his style of music and thought it would be within his stylistic range.
Since the arrangement of the music was so dependent on the interactivity, and the abilities of the driver, I had a lot of input into how the music was put together, since I would ultimately be responsible for making it "work" in the game.

First Amanda Kramer, then Jim Cassidy and finally Paul Robb, with whom Harland made 1992's "Peace & Love, Inc." Harland's vision culminates in nine new tracks, some of them reaching epic lengths, which express varying degrees of loss, frustration and alienation.
The album, co-produced with Steve Seibold, includes "Seek300," a high-speed sample-fest; the sweeping instrumental "Ozar Midrashim;" a steely cover of Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and the caustic "On the Outside," which Harland says he wouldn't have written "if I hadn't known so many girls who had scars on their arms."
Harland hopes that longtime fans will be able to follow Information Society's changes.
