Members / History
Fictional was originally formed as a solo-project by Gerritt Thomas in the late 1990s. The sound of the project could best be described as a combination of EBM and synthpop. Thomas wrote, produced, and sung all of Fictional's first release, Fictitious, with the exception of two songs with guest vocalist Tim Fockenbrock (of Thomas's first project, Ravenous). The debut album was originally released on Zoth Ommog in 1999, though after this label went out of business, Metropolis released Fictitious, featuring live versions of 'Dream Of God' and 'Blue Lights'.
Fictional's second release, Fiction, found Thomas working with singer Jason Bainbridge. Like most Funker Vogt releases, Fictional's vocals contains lyrics written with the help of manager and friend Kai Schmidt.

Famous quotes containing the words members and/or history:
“A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
