CD Reviews

An Attrition Remix 'n' oddities collection
Carl Howard | Columbus, OH USA | 11/12/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Attrition is something of a singularly in all of the genres with which it has ever been associated in its 20-year career. Never exactly Industrial, never exactly Goth or darkwave, never exactly dance or electronica either, Martin Bowes has steered his own course through these sounds and picked and chosen what he's liked from them. Attrition collection CDs are at this point as legion as original CDs; this one captures curios from comp CDs going back several years, and remixes of tracks from different labels. ("Keepsakes and Reflections" is from a lyric to the tune "This Great Divide.") I always prefer to listen to the originals of tracks rather than remixes; I enjoy hearing the original intent of the artist, even though some of the remix spins on Attrition tracks have at times been kinda juicy.
Martin has worked primarily as the lead singer of a male-female duet; the most compelling of these pairings was always with Julia Waller. Presently he works with a young woman named Christine Reid but her voice has only been heard on the live release "Heretic Angels." I can't wait for a CD of originals with Bowes and Reid. Until then, for the curious and for the collector alike, there is "Keepsakes and Reflections.""
