"...Ethereal recorder and voices take the listener on a magical ride through Attrition dreamsleep. Mesmerizing sequences and cymbal flurries provide a sub-mantric tapestry for Martin's growling, almost menacing voice, and for Chryss' high echoed vocals that float across the surface of the music like the white lady floating across the misty lake of the sub-conscious.” Phil Knight/ The Legendary Pink Dots
The Attrition of Reason: Described variously as “A Punk Floyd..” (Sounds) and “an industrial Raincoats” (Rough Trade magazine). The debut album by Attrition was released to critical acclaim on the UK’s Third Mind records in 1984.
An important milestone in the bands development as one of the forefathers of the current dark industrial and gothic movements.
Including the 4 tracks from 1984’s The Voice of God EP this new edition features enhanced and expanded artwork with new photos and has been remastered by Attrition main man Martin Bowes.
This classic album is now available worldwide for the first time…
The fourth release on the band’s Two Gods label.
"Forever there will be the speculation that the exploration of darkness as a beautiful place will lessen our fear of it all, ease the pain a little..."
ATTRITION are pioneers in a darker electronica. Formed in 1980 in Coventry, England, influenced by a mix of punk ideology and experimental art aesthetics, they emerged as part of the early '80s UK Industrial scene alongside contemporaries Coil, Test Department, Legendary Pink Dots, In The Nursery, Portion Control et al.
Founder Martin Bowes has steered the band through a 27 year career, fueled by a succession of critically acclaimed albums, live tours and appearances on a number of film soundtracks....
The band are currently touring Europe, the USA and central America in support of their recently released 25 year anniversary best of collection “Tearing arms from Deities."
"an entrancing blend of insistent electronics and beautiful orchestration...Bowes is without doubt one of the greatest living composers..." Industrial Nation/USA
