Black Lung - The Grand Chessboard
|
|
|
|
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.

"america's withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden emergence of a successful rival - would produce massive international instability. it would prompt global anarchy." (p. 30)
"...to put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together." (p.40)
"it follows that america's primary interest is to help ensure that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space and that the global community has unhindered financial and economic access to it." (p148)
"in the long run, global politics are bound to become increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic power in the hands of a single state. hence, america is not only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower, but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)
all quotations taken from 'the grand chessboard - american primacy and it's geostrategic imperatives'. (zbigniew brzezinski, basic books, 1997)
