Cyber-Tec is the debut EP of C-Tec, released on August 1, 1995, by Synthetic Symphony. The release peaked at No. 7 on the CMJ RPM Chart in the U.S.

Reception

Larry Dean Miles of Black Monday recommended Cyber-Tec to techno listeners interested in dance but noted "all the songs sound alike, it gets very repetitive." Sonic Boom said "I think that while there are only really four distinct songs on this EP, they all do an excellent job of providing the listener with a wide inflection of vocals from slower lyrical style used in 'Human' to the more traditional EBM speed employed on "Cauterize"."

Track listing
