ATTRITION Netherworld (The Final Collection)
Attrition are pioneers in what became known as darkwave. Carving out a unique slice of the creative underground for over two decades, fuelled by a succession of critically acclaimed album, selling over 50,000 to date, the band has toured all Europe and North America, Mexico and Asia, appeared at major festivals and had their music included on a number of film soundtracks. Formed in 1980 by Martin Bowes and Julia Waller in Coventry, England, influenced by a mix of punk ideology and experimental art aesthetics, they emerged as part of the early 80s UK Industrial scene alongside contemporaries Test Department, Coil, Legendary Pink Dots, In The Nursery, Portion Control et al. Their music is an undefinable marriage of dark and light, of futures and pasts, probing unexplored sonic landscapes with an eclectic marriage of experimental and traditional sound, of electronics and acoustics, of male and female - what later became known as darkwave. Netherworld is a collection of unpublished archive pieces from the early days of the band, collected by Martin Bowes. Full tracklist: 1. The Hanged Man 2. Tomb 3. This Final Push 4. Shadowdance 5. I was so surprised 6. Neuroses 7. Divisions 8. Mind Drop. Demo 9. The Wrecking Ground 10. (May) Parade 11. Samantha (Unfinished – RIP) 12. Prayer For The Head.
