Album information

The album featured a techno song for each of the 7 playable characters, as well as Goro, along with two additional tracks. Track 5, "Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)," dates back to 1993 when it was released as a single; the year when the game was released for consoles.

"Techno Syndrome" (with its signature scream of "Mortal Kombat!") has subsequently become famous as "the Mortal Kombat theme song" because of its use in the 1995 film, and remixed versions of the song continue to be associated with the Mortal Kombat franchise. The "Hypnotic House (Mortal Kombat)" was used as an intro in the Mortal Kombat Sega CD. "Techno Syndrome" is also a hidden song featured in the Sega CD version of Mortal Kombat when one chooses to enter the "soundtrack" mode at the Sega CD intro screen. It can also be accessed by putting the CD in a CD player and selecting track 17. The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard Heatseekers in the United States.
