Information Society is an American synth-pop/electronic group from Minneapolis, formed in the early 1980s. The band is best known for the hit "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" and for stylistic shifts that later incorporated industrial and techno elements. Kurt Harland is the group's long-standing lead voice and central figure.

The DeBaser reviews note Kurt Harland as the principal original member and reference his work in video games; the track "Ozar Midrashim" from Don't Be Afraid is mentioned in connection with the game Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. The band achieved mainstream recognition with the late-1980s single "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)".

DeBaser hosts two reviews (both by Danny The Kid) that praise Information Society's evolution from 1980s synth-pop to darker industrial and techno-influenced work. Don't Be Afraid is described as ambitious and cinematic; Synthesizer is presented as a mature, catchy return. Kurt Harland is highlighted as the central figure and noted for video-game work. Overall the coverage is favorable and focused on artistic reinvention.

For:Fans of synth-pop, electronic and industrial music; listeners interested in 1980s-2000s electronic evolutions and synth-driven pop reinventions.

 Don't Be Afraid remains a stunning and breathtaking experience, the masterful ability to graft pop melodies into a context that is not even a little bit pop, the vividness of the soundscapes that imprint themselves on the listener's mind, not just on the ears, on multiple different planes.

 "Synthesizer" is clever, it's fun, it's an album conceived to perfection that manages to surprise and never bore, it's a pop gem that has no abstruse pretensions other than the essential one of being a personal and quality product.
