Fictonian is a new project put together by researchers at the University of Phoenix in a bid to devise the perfect song. Locked in laboratories day and night with a handful of Fleetwood Mac albums they’ve been trying to determine the formula that will, by the year 2018, create the song to beat all songs. It’s early days in the project, but we think ‘Full Circle Influence’ (available to download in exchange for an email address here) shows plenty of promise. Of course, none of this is true – the University of Phoenix isn’t even a real university – but given that nobody will tell us any more than Fictonian is a “UK-based songwriter and instrumentalist”, and the name sounded a bit like Fiction, we figured we’d just make something up. And they all lived happily ever after, the end.
