Hi, I wanted to say that I think this is a pretty good single for a pretty good track. Myself, I prefer one of the remixes of Fanatica to the album version. As far as the offerings of this disc by some sellers for over $100.00, I think that's just outrageous. Similarly for Mein Blut. I think such sellers should be ashamed to ask that kind of money for these records.

I purchased this single because I wanted to hear the whole song "Angst?" Track2. I wasn't sure if I liked Eisbrecher or not but I knew I would like "Angst?" and when I receieved the single I found out I was right. What I didn't expect though was to find that the "Fanatica" would be so freaking good! I still love "Angst?" but heart goes out to "Fanatica." Noel Pix's talent and creativity really stick out in both of these songs, and how could you not love Alexx's voice? Both songs have a completely differant feel and sound from each other but both contain something special that sets an idea of the Eisbrecher sound. I'm not really into remixes, but both remixes of "Fanatica" are great. I suggest this CD to anyone collecting Eisbrecher.

This is the second single from the upcoming EISBRECHER album. It contains the title track, "Fanatica" + 2 remixes and the song "Angst". This single highlights two distinctly separate musical styles. "Fanatica" is an electronic synth-pop tune, focused on a good dance rhythm. The surprise with "Fanatica" is the catchy clever English text chorus; which is paired with the deep-voiced, German text, sprech-gesang style appearing in the rest of the song. The two remixes grind the beats to a moodier and heavier realm. "Angst" is a fast and pounding synth-hard-rock masterpiece. The text is 100% in German. The music is 100% m-e-t-a-l! This single is a good solid appetizer, heralding the anticipated arrival of the full-length CD from EISBRECHER in 2004. Bon appétit!

Alright, 'Fanatica' is a decent enough track, 'Angst?' is mediocre, and the remixes are pointless and neither are as good as the original version. The cover art is quite kewl though. People who think this is EBM are diluded and have lived sheltered lives, but fans of Rammstein might enjoy this try-hard offering.
