Originaly released in 1991 on Contempo records in Italy and Projekt records in the USA. A Tricky Business is one of ATTRITION's most successful releases....containing as it does their most well known song - "A girl called harmony" (featured on the dance floors of gothic clubs the world over and now enjoying life on a succession of gothic/industrial sampler CD's...including Germany's Orkus magazine's Best of the 90's..) . The album signalled a 90's rebirth for Attrition as mainman Martin Bowes' first use of computer technology resulted in a new twist to his dark electronic music production - ranging from dance to neo-classical to experimental ambience... and his lyrical depths are complemented by the stunning operatic voice of regular singer Julia Waller. A Tricky Business was the first album to feature cover artwork from English artist Mark Lomax.
