Hello, all -
Forgive me if this is old news. I don't recall hearing this mentioned.
I just discovered this CD by chance in Tower Records (!) last night.
It's called "Synthetic Pleasures" on Moonshine Records.
A 1996 release, brand shiny new.
The groovy cover art is one thing, but the hear-and-now roster of happening
talent is another altogether. That dreamy cut by Terre Thaemlitz (hello,
and compliments!).
Evidently this is part of a multimedia extravaganza, including the Web
site, a book, and a soon-to-be-existent film. More info at:

At this site, you can find excerpts from the film, interviews, bios of
musicians, and an avalanche of other toys. Enjoy.

Synthetic Pleasures CD soundtrack on Moonshine Music
----------------------------------------------------
Synthetic Pleasures is set to be the cult movie of the 90's. The ongoing
Synthetic Pleasures project however has a truly multi media format, moving
beyond celluloid, it encompasses a web site, a line of clothing, a book and
a merchandising range.
The first in a series of soundtrack albums has been compiled by Caipirinha
Productions and Moonshine Music president Steve Levy from music
included in the movie. With an all-star track listing this album is in
essence a time capsule of early 90's electronica.
"It's a trip into some serious recent classics. An all killer, no filler
soundtrack."
Tamara Palmer - URB Magazine
