The never resting David Thrussell's latest effort as Black Lung is represented by "The Grand Chessboard", an instrumental album of glitchy and saturated electronic textures that comes with or as a definite political statement (Thrussell-style!). Consistently less distorted and dark-ambient oriented, Thrussell's work as Black Lung is much more intellegible and structured. It appears to be increasingly based and inspired by rhythm noise while redefining its musical collocation maintaining an overall endeavoring and challenging free spirit, as one would expect in the least. "The Grand Chessboard" contains no vocal parts whatsoever and comes with quotes of Zbigniew Brzezinski (from his 1997 "Basic Books"). There is a regularly issued 6-page unfolding digipack CD release, but there is also a full colour cover LP and a CD+CD EP slimline case version of it (the latter is limited to 501 copies and contains the CD EP "The Sound of Meat").
