Information Society is an album by the synthpop, techno and freestyle band Information Society. It was their first release under a major label, after two independently released albums. Numerous top-40 hits quickly led the group to fame and fortune. The album was certified gold (selling 500,000 units) after five months in the U.S. and also went gold in Brazil in just 10 days. The album had several chart-topping hits such as "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)", "Walking Away", and "Running". It was one of the only albums released in the seldom-used CD+G format.
It is one of the very few CDs to have CD+G content. As the CD+G format never caught on and compatible players are difficult to find, the whole content was also made available on the band's web site. "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" and "Walking Away" were used in a sampler disc bundled with the Sega CD to showcase the console's CD+G capability. It had the same graphics as the album.
