" The most successful businesses, relationships, art, music, lives, walk along a very long (thin) tightrope that has success and failure on either side of it. Every day we walk this tightrope trying not to fall off. Too much success means there is (creatively) no where else to go, the only way left is down and spiraling into failure just means you are finished. If you fall off, it is tough to get back up and dust yourself off. We are all doomed - the smart people stay on that tightrope; this is where optimum efficiency lives and creativity is at its best. Attrition have been traversing this line for years and years and years and they haven't fallen off yet. It is difficult to pick a track that covers decades of material but - 'Two Gods' is a good place to start... then you will be entrapped in their dark, enveloping, Gothic world - one of the most important bands in the history of music..." www.systemculture.org
"Attrition is experimentation of the highest order... orbiting some strange star with an atmosphere of fear to breathe. Attrition is extraordinary music for connoisseurs of challenge" Musictap.net
