Attrition enters their 25th year in 2006, and to celebrate, Projekt reissues their 1991 classic, A Tricky Business, with the same classy artwork and a bonus track! - the long lost 12" club remix version of "Something in my eye". Their darkwave classic"A Girl Called Harmony" ( included on Projekt's FromAcrossThisGrayLand3's and Germany's Orkus magazine "best of the nineties" collection) comes from this album of 12 intensely striking and self-assured pieces of electronic music. Sparse and technical, this possessed duo creates a bizarre but beautiful affair. Originally released on Italy’s notorious Contempo label, rescued from obscurity by Projekt: Archive.
A review from E.S.T. zine - UK - June 92:
...Attrition's latest release is a pleasant surprise. Their new sound is far from restrained. All manner of instrumentation is evident, male anf female voices intertwine among electronic, classical and medieval textures. This is refreshing, an uplifting, sentimental and beautiful album. A Trick business has a classically minimal feeling that is the result of a successful fusion of high-tech ambience and strong personal songwriting. - MR
A review from Grim Humour zine - UK - summer 92:
This album catches Attrition revisiting their earlier, more sinister sound, and integrating it with a mixture of fresh influences. Left field dance rythmns rub shoulders with orchestrated waves of keyboards and the swaying voice of Julia Waller, whilst well functioning bursts of experimentalism compliment Martin Bowes' grated vocals in an effort to balance things out. A Trick Business proves that Attrition's 10+ years experience in the field has most certainly paid off.
