"face it- we've all spent money on remix albums and been terribly disappointed with the quality and consistency of the mixes. "the hand that feeds," is NOT one of those disappointments. this is a wonderful album, with each remix building on the original. recommendations are morbus kitahara's mix of "white men talk" and chris & cosey's take on "i am (eternity)". very good stuff."
Let them be heard

"Attrition is one of those groups that has to be heard to be understood. To try and describe them by labeling them dark or 'goth' or industrial darkwave or one of those 'gothic' bands just doesn't do them justice. Many would categorize industrial and gothic as a world of music that all sounds the same. Well sounding the same is what bad groups do. Attrition has a distinctly original sound that is unique to them. They don't sound like Funker Vogt. They don't sound like Lords of Acid. They don't sound like Ministry. Wait a minute, aren't all these groups classified in the same category? You see my point? Attrition doesn't even sound like Leather Strip despite both bands having an evident love of classical music.
So give them a listen. Their music has a strange passion that can be dark, uplifting, and danceable all at the same time. The remixes on this album represent various artist's take on the group and all have their own unique approach as well."
