More sociopolitical technoise

"David Thrussell is best known for his work as Snog, but Black Lung tends to be more of an interesting forum for electronic music. This, his third domestic album as B.L., is a mix of drones, minimal atmospheres, furious hardcore kicks and pseudo-political messages. Entirely instrumental and focused around the concept of AIDS disinformation."

Disappointing

"While I have a lot of respect for Thursell (Snog and Soma are both outstanding bands in totally different genres) I am unimpressed with black lung. The beats on this album in particular are... uninteresting. At best they are boring, at worst they are headache-inducing. And the nature of the music is such that there's not much to talk about *besides* the beats.When the album dips into more ambient territory, the quality picks up, which earns it two stars.In the end, I'd say don't gamble on this disc unless you know what you are getting into. Thursell's bands with Peiter Bourke are far better."

The Bomb!!!! Does that apply to industrial music????

"I'm Being serious this is a good album. It is REALLY expreimentla, but 100% industrial, so if you are looking for a band to increase your collection of industrial\electronic muisic this is it. Sounds kinda like Autchre yet not at all.... does that help?"
