Peace and Love Inc. is an album by the synthpop band Information Society. The album received great critical reviews but the label did little to promote it. It was the least successful of the three albums released by Tommy Boy/Reprise and was the last Tommy Boy title to be distributed by major-label channels (WEA in this case), although Warner Bros. Records owned a stake in the label until 2002. The track "300bps N, 8, 1 (Terminal Mode Or Ascii Download)" is actually a text file encoded as modem tones. When decoded, the content is a tale by Kurt Harland about a bizarre but purportedly true event that took place when the band was playing in the city of Curitiba, Brazil.
