Actually the Raiana Paige song was featured Tim Schommer's FREESTYLE BOOM...I guess this might be the first time her song is used in it's entirety on a compilation...
 
Randi:

I was lookin for it at tower the other day but they only had up to the 6th volume. I checked thumprecords.com too but it's not posted on there. Has it hit the streets yet? If not do you know the release date? I haven't heard the "Sidewalk Talk" in a long time!😛

Kenny:

I guess we gotta agree to disagree. I think they are very much so latin hip-hop. Not just "Running", but also "What's On Your Mind", "Walking Away", "Think", "Lay All Your Love On Me". Synth-pop is like Depeche Mode, Orgy, New Order, Yaz type stuff. Information society doesn't have the hard edge that those groups have, they are more in the dance-pop direction.

This is a statement that appears on their latest cd's:

"Founded in 1982 in Minneapolis, INSOC was later rediscovered in 1985 by the burgeoning LATIN HIP-HOP scene in THE BRONX. Due to the unintentional crass appeal between the band's euro-ballad-ization of the Kraftwerk inspired SOUL SONIC FORCE sound, further schooled by underground DANCE-POP, INSOC made major impact with What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) & Running."

Latin Hip-hop, The Bronx, the "Soul Sonic Force sound", dance-pop, these are all things that are synonymous with Freestyle. Plus they themselves consider it freestyle. They were backed up by India & Nocera. What else do they have to do to be considered freestyle?

well, when i was in a rage about the this group, i went to a INFOSOC site and asked them their opinion. they practically laughed at me at the idea that people would consider them "freestyle". now, there were DIE-HARD INFOSOC fans. not FREESTYLE fans. they said "INFOSOC is pure 100% SYNTH-POP. we, the freestyle fans (some of us) call it "freestyle" because we dont know better about the group.

Please dont go there by using that example. Sone would even consider "NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK" freestyle because SWEET SENSATION opened up for them. While we are on "NOCERA", she really never consider INFOSOC on her level.
 
Hey Mark:

I looked on Thump Record's web site and also noticed that it isnt listed there. Im not quite sure why...all I can think of is that they havent updated their site recently. Amazon had the release date listed as May 14, and when I went to Coconuts on Saturday they had it. Maybe only certain stores are carrying it right now but Im really not sure. I know Amazon and Sam Goody.com both have it. Good luck..hope ya find it soon! 🙂

Did Nocera actually say, "Information Society isn't up to my level"?

I doubt it.

If she did, then her statement is rediculous.
And you repeating it, is even more so.

But I doubt Nocera said something like that.
Therefore, Kenny, your statement about Nocera and Information Society is ridiculous, and uncalled for.

“Running” is just as important to the sound of Freestyle, as any song sung by Nocera.

On top of that, Information Society made contributions above and beyond most Freestyle artists:
They crossed over into the mainstream, and gave our genre of music much needed exposure.

And yes, they left Freestyle behind, as did many others from that time period (Lil’ Louis, Jellybean, etc.) and branched out into other forms of music. (House/Techno)

But it still does not change the fact, no matter what kind of group they are, their earliest hit songs were Freestyle.

And, when Mic Mac released the compilation CD Reunion in 1996, the album that featured all the old stars coming back to Freestyle, like Laura Enea, Benda K. Starr, and Nocera, it was Paul Robb of Information Society who produced “I Want U Now” by Nocera.

The Rhoq says:
You are 100% correct. Paul Robb has been very instrumental in Freestyle over the years producing FREESTYLE SONGS for such established Freestyle artists as: Noel, TKA and Nocera (just to name a few)...

Don't doubt what you don't know. NOCERA told me during one of our conversations.

Their first three singles which all Freestyle in makeup, helped give Information society their initial fan-base.

Again that just makes you probably wrong about your previous post

And it also makes him a diverse producer, who produced Freestyle music .
 
The Rhoq says:
My personal opinion of Information Society is that they were an american New Wave group that happened to record a few Freestyle songs as they were influenced by the popular sounds of their day.

NOT REALLY. SHES THE PRO. WERE THE FANS. I SIMPLY PASSED ON A COMMENT SHE MADE. I THINK SHE KNOWS A BIT MORE ABOUT MUSIC THAN ANY OF US DO.
 
BUT...If she considered herself to be on a higher level than Information Society, why would she work with Paul Robb? He was the man behind alot of their music and without him, they would not have had their Freestyle influenced sound.
