“More optimism. more vison. more joy. And a fierce spirit. Spitting and snarling music…with beautiful, lilting vocals that weave a winding and wondorous spell…A real treasure.” SIIYE magazine. 1983.
Action and Reaction: A 1983 collaboration with Seattle, USA-based experimental art-rock group Audio Letter. 8 pieces of music recorded on the band's respective 4 track portastudios.
Originally released in 2 versions on cassette – one mixed by each band.
It was resurrected by Polish label Big Blue for a limited CD release in 2002.
This version is the original Attrition mix, totally remastered for CD by main man Martin Bowes, and the new booklet includes rare unpublished archive photos of the band.
The missing link between the analogue soundscapes of Attrition’s Death House soundtrack of 1982 and the experimental song structures of 1984’s debut album The Attrition of Reason.
Now available worldwide for the first time through Two Gods/Voiceprint.
The fifth release on the band’s newly formed label, Two Gods.
