about

unlike the last black lung release, 'the sound of meat', david thrussell's new opus is strictly instrumental - no voices will be heard except for philipp glass-like samples on 'neither dominion nor exclusion'. the grand chessboard's message: the united states’ "divide and rule" strategy - as represented by z.brzezinski's quotes (which are displayed in more detail on the record cover). this message is subliminally transmitted through sound.

the early description of black lung's music, "ultra-distorted sound and darkest ambient", has become quite obsolete. the music is less distorted and much more electronica oriented. 'the grand chessboard' is a multilayered masterpiece with a huge variety of rhythmic structures, subliminal dance tunes and precisely set samples. which in turn makes this record a treasure chest for all sound enthusiasts.

Frost Vol. 1
by Various Artists

supported by 4 fans who also own “the grand chessboard”

When it comes to techno, acid, EBM, and other genres fit for warehouse sets, Germany has and plays them in spades. No shortage of labels, artists, or tracks to drop the ceiling from its base. With that amount, you'd think it'd get dull, right? AEEN! WRONG! No matter how vast the talent pool, Basic Unit keeps themselves afloat with crazy tracks and respectable artists. This comp serves as a reminder of that. DJ Home Movies
