	Sorted magAZine, Sordid - Advent Sleep
		Attrition began making their particular blend of strange noises in the early '80s, around the same time as Bauhaus and the Virgin Prunes.
		Unlike their contemporaries, Attrition never disintegrated in a blaze of "artistic differences" or "personality clashes", however, neither did they reach the heights reserved for other more durable bands like the Fields of the Nephilim or the Sisters of Mercy.
		Attrition show no sign of slowing down after 17 years, and perhaps they'll become a hit for their 20th anniversary in 2002.

	HEFCE : Publications : 1997 : M12/97 - International Comparison of the Cost of Teaching in Higher Education
		The differences between the Bands were smallest in the USA where the concept was hardest to apply (most students take a mix of arts and science subjects) and were strongest in the Dutch and German research institutions.
		For Band 1 alone, the research institutions have lower costs than their primarily teaching counterparts in all countries except the USA where the comparison is complicated by the private/public split.
		For Band 2 the position is largely reversed with the research institutions having higher costs in all countries except the USA.

	Attrition History - a full biography
		Such is the imagery that spawns Attrition, who, with its marriage of the classic and modern, has brought to music the equivalent of a surrealist painting.

	GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR - concert review
		show consists of the band playing and a projectionist, who is a part of the band, showing films.
		Without a single word said, this was portrayed strictly through their music, not even the films, which the band claims are only there to give the audience something other then the band to look at.
		Even the band members were completely taken away by their own music as could be seen by their gestures as they played in the dark being illuminated only by small red lanterns and a string of blue Christmas lights.

	forcesofgood.com - ROCK AND/OR ROLL - The Summer of Attrition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It seems that whenever one band calls it quits, the event is usually followed in short order by the disintegration of a few others.
		The announcement of the band’s demise was made official, and the story revealed in hindsight for anyone who cared to go back and piece it together.
		As a band that had once been lauded by the critical establishment was subsequently devalued to a novelty status, the transformation from conquering heroes to no-account zeroes was complete.

	D A M n! ... #14... the reviews! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Attrition returns with an EP (more like a single, since it only has four songs) from their forthcoming album Etude, which consists of classical interpretations of older Attrition material.
		Although this release is relatively short, it exhibits the willingness of the band to grow and experiment with their music and their ability to move beyond the confines of any particular genre or sound.
		When I first heard a tape of this band, years ago, I thought they were the first band I had heard that was using haujobb as a template for their sound...

	UCI Band: Commentary - 11/25/00
		As I have documented in my UCI Band History page, the Band grew steadily under the direction of Bill Saichek starting in the 1982/83 season and continuing into the 1985/86 season.
		By this season, the Band Council had been dissolved and the basketball team was well on its way to an 8th place finish.
		The hard-core basketball fans within the Band quit and the band was left with a small whining core.

	Swung by Seraphim
		The people on the floor (some who were veterans of their last appearance in town nine years ago) chanted for an encore, the problem is that they didn't have any more material set up, so they went out and played one of their songs again so the fans could dance to one more.
		Eschewing "singer-songwriter" models of creativity, the band writes songs collaboratively and collectively in its rehearsal space -- with an emphasis on songs, which, in a word, is the Prosaics' modus operandi.
		They got quite drunk waiting for their turn to play, but then came on and were pure pros, and soon enough the entire crowd were dancing and moshing to the set.

	CD reviews - January 2000
		While Pittsburgh's The Clearing are not a Gothic band per se, they have risen from the ashes of one of the most successful and longest running darker bands to have emerged from Pittsburgh over the past ten years, and that is the near legendary outfit The Garden.
		Keep in mind that the band arrival in 1982 was long before cable TV was in every home, microwave ovens were just becoming popular, cell phones were non existent and the CD was still 2 years away from being born.
		Band creator and lead vocalist Mike Score has changed the line up a few times over the past 18 years, however new and old fans alike can immediately recognize the trademark guitar licks that became their sound.

	[DSO] - audio - gig reviews - Attrition/Greenhaus - 9 September, 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Both bands share an unusual approach to composition, Attrition the old masters of the scene (having been around since the dawn of the 80s) and Greenhaus the new blokes on the block.
		The one thing that Attrition have in common with Greenhaus before them is the unexpected.
		Dramatic, traumatic, ecstatic all sound like typical Attrition lyrics but they are also words which capture the unique mood that this equally unique band create.

	Attrition - The Eternity EP
		Attrition are, well, let's be honest, Attrition are awkward buggers.
		Maybe that's partly their own fault - I'd avoided them for years because I thought with a name like Attrition they were probably some sort of 2nd rate heavy metal band.
		For one thing, there's no such thing as an ideal starting place for the band's work, for another you really need to have heard the originals to fully appreciate the various transformations that the material has undergone.

	Attrition
		Attrition have been consistently recording and touring for over fifteen years, producing some truly unique music that crosses all kinds of boundaries.
		Starting out in the middle of the initial industrial/experimental scene that gave us bands like SPK and Coil, Attrition have along the way evolved into more of a darkwave act, combining elements of dark dance music, gothic, ambient, not to mention some gorgeous bits of classical and opera.
		The band, which is mainly Martin Bowes with the aid of Julia Waller’s soaring vocals and Franck Matteis’s beautiful viola work, recently unleashed The Jeopardy Maze on the world.

	Concert Reviews
		Attrition themselves being the only other act, this seemed like it was to be a nice evening.
		He added a drummer, then a bassist (Kat Gass from the bizarre Atlanta band BOB, who also plays sax on a song here and there.) After CMJ, Rene Nelson of Aphelion was added on keys and harp, followed by Deisha Oliver (who Rene knows from their time together in Osaka) on cello.
		The band ignored it and played on, giving the crowd a good mix of the hard, vocally-driven numbers and the slower, more intricate songs that showcase the talents of Carol on viola and Rene on harp instead of bass.

	Dark Star Audio - Gig Reviews - Covenant, Attrition, Hexedene - Underworld, London - 5 September, 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I'd have paid for three separate gigs to catch each band on the billing - so to find all three on one line up was like receiving an unexpected present - thanks to promoters Nemesis.
		Attrition simply do not sound like anyone else - and that's a remarkable statement if you think about it - but it is absolutely true.
		Attrition's music is full of darkness but it isn't gothic.

	Attrition - Étude
		It's true that Attrition are compilation regulars - the only other artists that I can think of that turn up so regularly on obscure industrial and gothic compilations are Chris and Cosey - and thus have more of their back catalogue spread out over many compilations, but it does skew the album a little.
		Since the next Attrition in the pipeline is a maxi-single of remixes (looking forward to hearing whatever it is New Mind reworked - also looking forward to hearing the remix Martin did in return for that one) I guess we'll have to wait for The Jeopardy Maze to hear.
		I really do hope that Attrition don't burrow themselves too deeply into the "ethereal gothic" ghetto though, part of their appeal has always been the way they've merged different styles.

	Attrition: Dante's Kitchen - Release Music Magazine review
		One of the oldest electronic acts to come from the UK, Attrition were formed in the early 1980:s and have released numerous albums.
		His usage of addictive analogue synthesis coupled with dynamic arrangements has made Attrition one of a handful of truly original bands to come out.
		Ever since "The Hidden Agenda" was released back in 1992, Attrition have pretty much been making the same album- with small variations and somehow have managed to get away with it.

	Attrition Interview
		There are two particularly interesting avant-garde bands around: Stress, whose mainman runs the Adventures in Reality zine, and Attrition, a trio who purvey fine edgy synthesizer-tinged rock.
		Attrition have arrived and set up their instruments, and Alan (half of Stress, now also lighting / films director for Attrition) has set up an array of slide and cine projectors.
		Later the band eat anything and everything we have in the kitchen before crashing for the night.

	Opus Focus - March 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Instead of sounding like a tired band at the end of their career, The Jeopardy Maze is the culmination of everything the band has built up before, sparked with a fresh vitality and a sense of calm confidence.
		Generally fairly upbeat, the band seem to have a sense of humor based on some of the goofy-sounding samples they come up with, plus their penchant to mess with the vocal tracks.
		It’s fine when the band is playing slow, acoustic pieces, but when the fast-picked, distorted guitars come in or the drums kick into double-bass overdrive, it all turns to mush.

	Castle Party 2002
		[The band members -Bruno K. and Stefan A. and the third 'live' fellow- had had to install everything by themselves so it was quite amusing to watch] The show was definitely funnier and less serious than we expected.
		When the band eventually began to play it was very late and we felt incredibly tired.
		It's the band that we occasionally listen to at home as a kind of a guilty pleasure.

	USCHO.com: No Excuses
		With players dropping like flies prior to Boston College's Hockey East championship game against New Hampshire, the band was merely the latest subtraction from the Eagles lineup.
		The first broadside absorbed in BC's war of attrition, and without question the biggest loss, came a week ago when Patrick Eaves suffered a bruised shoulder and lung in the third period of the clinching quarterfinal game against Massachusetts.
		Band members aside, the attrition had reached such proportions that the Eagles didn't have a healthy scratch for the title game.

	PURGE - Artist page at TuneVault.com
		When asked what the band is all about answers vary from Jeff’s reply of it being a creative outlet to Matt’s insightful response of PURGE being a vacation from reality.
		Lauer describes himself and his band mates as "just average, blue-collar workers" who share a love for music and a commitment to their group.
		All of the songs that Purge performs are original, with a heavy metal style influenced by the great hard rock bands of the past as well as those playing today.

	Projekt Artist: 'Attrition'

		The band released A Tricky Business on the Italian Contempo label, spawning the underground club classic, "A Girl Called Harmony." In 1994, under the careful direction of Martin and Projekt founder Sam Rosenthal, Attrition's back catalog was readied for re-release on Projekt: Archive.

	OhioLINK ETD: Hayes, William
		For band directors, the retention of students during the transition from junior high school to high school is a very important issue.
		For these reasons, a survey of band directors has been completed that attempts to gauge what they perceive as the most important factors in student retention.
		While all of the questions in the survey were important with regards to retention, the most important aspects dealt with the parental, musical and social aspects of band.

	Legendary Pink Dots [www.progweed.net]
		Best of all, though, is the story of how they started: according to rumor, Ka-Spel and some friends were wandering in the woods when they heard some music, and when they followed the sound they discovered a band giving a concert to nobody in the middle of nowhere, complete with light show and platform.
		Even within those periods, the band steadfastly refuses to be pinned down -- within a given album there can be found scraps of everything from 20th century classical to industrial to ambient.
		In a way, the song sums up what makes this album so good: the band's melodic sensibilities and their avant-gardist tendencies are perfectly in balance.
