Reception

edit

Black Monday called Chaos Compilation "a most wonderful compilation" and named "Canine" by Tongue as the best song of the year.[5] Sonic Boom called the album "a reasonably conclusive collection of recent caustic coldwave industrial chaos" and "a very strong coldwave industrial compilation albeit heavy on previously signed bands."[6] The album peaked at number six on CMJ New Music Monthly's top dance releases in 1995.[7]
