Attrition - Fear / Devoid


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 '80's 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.... Fear/Devoid - two early home recordings appear as a flexi disc with Adventures in Reality 'zine - run by the bands live visuals engineer Alan Rider...also of synth/wave band Stress... Fear/Devoid wes released as a single sided flexi by Adventures in Reality (ARR 002) in 1982. Later in 1983 both tracks appeared on the Deux Demo's cassette release by Rabbit Records (R.R. 003/83).
