Cyberpunk Fiction: A Synthcore "Soundtrack" is a various artists compilation album released on November 17, 1998 by Re-Constriction Records.
Reception Aiding & Abetting gave it mixed review, praising the execution while saying "the spoken parts sound a little hokey" and the "music sounds like rote walkthroughs." Sonic Boom called the album a parody masterpiece and "not only are most of the cover interpretations by Synthcore and Electro bands dazzling but the re-written dialogue is the funniest thing I have heard in years." Chris Best of Lollipop Magazine praised the "concoction of heavy beats and eerily juxtaposed melodies", saying "the fit is strange and awkward, but the accidental result is that each group transforms their sound from typical dance floor industrial into a totally new beast."
