They did music videos for a few of these too:

I guess stuff like this is what happens when your marketing department has too little to do.

This is like maximum 80's cringe... I say that as a child of the 80's... I'm half tempted to cut this up and try and build some sort of vaporwave track. Seems tailor made for vaporwave.

This leaves me without words, and I only listened to the first track.

Hard to deny culture has gotten less optimistic when you see stuff like this.

We’re making it out of Cupertino with this one.

Wouldn't releasing an album during that time be quite risky because of the ongoing legal issues with Apple Corps[1]? In 1991 Apple legal was so paranoid that they even worried about the names of Mac OS system sounds[2].
