Review

Upon receiving my copy of the new Fiction 8, I took note of the professionalism in putting the CD together, the cover looks great, done by Tower Intergalactic Media. I have been listening to this group for about four years and must say that the sound has inevitably evolved into a very mature sound. Mike Smith and Steve Hart, the two long-standing members along with Mardi Paisli have put together a brilliant album full of industrial strength. The disk at times sounds like an early 90's industrial song, then to a dance EBM track, then to an ambient slow song. It's really cool to hear the bonus tracks as well on the disk. Altogether, Fiction 8's Chaotica is a well-packaged industrial music record worthy of the $10 you will spend on it. --(Anamatria) - Throat Culture's Website

Product Description

Amazing well crafted songs with beats that you can't resist dancing to. Industrial Dance mixed with catchy Synth pop melodies and lyrical hooks are sharp enough to torment listeners for days. Complete with remixes of old favorites "Never Going Back" and "Isolation."

From The Best CDs of 2000:

Some of the more interesting bands I've heard in the past couple years have emerged from the corner of the music universe that includes Goth and Industrial, and for lack of a satisfying term I tend to lump it all together under labels like "Darkbeat," "Dark Pop," or the more widely used "Darkwave." Denver-based Fiction 8 doesn't fit neatly into any of these categories, although on their Web site frontman Mike Smith does reluctantly admit that F8 is a "dark pop band." They're also a great dance band with an emerging knack for haunting ambient undertones (due in large part to the addition of bassist/vocalist/violinist Mardi Salazar). Chaotica is F8's third full-length release, and hopefully the personal and creative dynamics of the new lineup, coupled with a supportive label relationship, will allow the CD to reach a larger audience than its predecessors.

I took a chance on buying this CD after hearing just one of their songs, I wasn't disappointed. This is an amazing CD not only because it sounds awesome but because so many of the songs are so great to dance too.
