Dante's Kitchen
[Big Blue]
Since the beginning of the 80s, Attrition has always been present on the electronic and gothic scene. Industrial, experimental, dark, classical, Martin Bowes' music has tried all the genres. Throughout the years, the union between electronic and classical music has been more and more present in the group's compositions. "Dante's Kitchen", Attrition's latest opus, is in the same line with its violins and the lyrical voices of Julia Waller and her colleagues. The tracks follow one another like on a musical fresco and play on the differences between females chants and Martin's dark voice and the contrasts between the electronic and the acoustic sounds. The violins weave the background web and the aerial voices draw volutes that carry us out of time. Although we find again the same bewitching mystical atmosphere with pleasure, we have to admit that we don't find the album very innovating. We regret that all the tracks are made in the same musical register and that Martin Bowes doesn't take more risks. Nevertheless, "Dante's Kitchen" still is an excellent album which has the special beauty we always liked in Attrition.
