Gothic, without being to dark.

"This is truly a cd that even people who have no idea what Gothic music is, can enjoy. The deep crooning voice can soothe the most savage beat, while the rythym's can even be considered danceable, unlike most of their prior music. A must for all Gothic fans, but don't pass it up if you are not!"

"Attrition's music was and probably always will be unclassifiable and innovative. They are never afraid to experiment with different genres, often creating eclectic mixtures of avantgard, neoclassical, EBM, darkwave, ethereal... Originally released in 1991 on Relic this CD is still very much listenable and enjoyable in Y2K. Most of it is rather intense, dancy and dark ("Thin Red Line", "Scenario", "Right Hand Man") and then there's slower and more melodic stuff like "A girl called Harmony" or "Legitimate Sin". The lyrics are quite interesting and at times rather psychotic. Combined with the urgent music and eerie "industrial" male and operatic female vocals, they give the listener an uneasy feeling."
