Black Lung, Snog, and Soma are all projects by David Thrussell. Hymen will be releasing a new Snog record called "I Snog Therefore I Am" sometime this year, which will be 2CDs. > the album I heartily recommend is silent weapons for quiet wars. think dark > ambient with idm overtones.

This was released domestically on Machinery/Dynamic - a label which as since folded, so it is very hard to find. But it really is a fantastic release. The Depopulation Bomb, on 5th Colvmn (also since deceased) and the Disinformation Plague (on Metropolis) are also great. > Also Ant-zen recently > reissued it as a vinyl picture disc.

Actually, it came out on Hymen, which is Ant-Zen's mostly vinyl based "teknoid" label (if someone wants to define that term, go ahead). And the picture disk is awesome! I just got it. > other albums (disinformation plague, depopulation bomb etc) have more of a > straight techno feel. Not that familliar with them but what I have heard > has been mildly interesting. Not entirely. There are a lot of ambient soundscapes and all out noise pieces on them as well. And i wouldn't call it a straight techno feel. That shit could kick you ass. BTW anyone in San Francisco who wants to check them out, Black Lung is playing on Thursday and Sunday at the Velvet Lounge. --sharon
