I have a fundraiser called Electronic Saviors:Industrial Music To Cure Cancer. We focus on electronic and industrial music. I have licensed the songs from the 1986 soundtrack and will be releasing Respect the Prime:1986 Revisited. It is a tribute cd involving bands from all over the world to raise money for cancer charity. We will have a table at TFcon Chicago and we just put pre orders up today at Here or Here.

Casey Coller and John Paul Bove did a phenomenal job on the art. I am a cancer survivor and a life long fan. This is me giving back.

I didn't see any on their album page, are there samples from any of the tracks?

Hey Seibertronians! Did you forget about this album, because I sure did. Thankfully a friend sent me a link to a cover by one of the bands, Bella Morte, who I've followed for last 10 years. They've provided a fun rendition of "Hunger", and you can listen to it along with four other songs at the following link: Distortion Productions Soundcloud Page

You can also expand your music horizons by listening to additional tracks the company has uploaded while you're there. Finally, the pre-order page lists the release date for this album as this Friday, August 12. Lockdown those pre-orders and happy listening!
