OK here's the situation: I was at the software store last night looking at CD-ROM games when I came across a game called "Cyberware." The game, produced by the people who did the graphics for Steven King's "Lawnmower Man" movie, had four CDs included: three data CDs for the game and one music CD. The music CD was touted as a limited edition soundtrack written, produced and performed by none other than Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy! Last time I checked, those two were the core members of System 7. As usual the attendents at the store had no further information about the game or the CD included therein. So I posted this note to the IDM internet experts in hopes of more information. -->-Lance---

Hillage has written the soundtrack for both "Lawnmower" cd-roms, the 2nd one (the one you saw) does comes with a limited addition audio cd. Don't pay $45 just for the cd. It contains only about 1/2 the tunes by Hillage and rest by someone else (the tunes not by Hillage are pretty terrible). The game is ok, but nothing outstanding. MC - Mark B.

Yes, but the question is, are the Hillage tunes good? I'd easily pay $45 and turn around and sell the game for $40 if the tunes were good.

The tunes are quite good. The first track (entity), seems to be a remix of Miracle. May in fact be the orb remix from the Volume Two compilation. I haven't found it yet in the house, so i cant say for sure, but from memory it's almost the same song if it is not the same. Then again, i may be completely offtrack as System 7 songs have in general lots of similarities.
