The album was composed entirely using a TAPE O MATIC 710 reel to reel from 1958, a 1960’s mayfaair JVC reel to reel, aa 1965 G.E. solid state portable reel to reel from 1965, a portable 1970’s Panasonic cassette player, a ring modulator as well as various other effects and synths.\u003cbr\u003eThe loop that is the basis for WAR POEM ZERO which takes up the whole of side one, happened by accident when I put a reel on the wrong way up, it produced aa sound of such great melancholy and beauty, I just let it play…\u003cbr\u003eThis album owes a debt to “SWANSONG” by NURSE WITH WOUND from the album “A MISSING SENSE” where experimental sound is used as an anti war protest.\u003cbr\u003eChris Connelly 2026\u003cbr\u003eYou are unlikely to hear a record of such brutal intensity, or indeed authenticity as this. To call it “old school industrial” would be to do it a disservice, but also not THAT wide of the mark. It is packaged sympathetically to Chris’ previous release for the label, the long sold out LP “White Phosphorous”.\u003cbr\u003eIt is limited to 300 copies pressed in military grey vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eSide One:\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem Zero\u003cbr\u003eSide Two:\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 1\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 2\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 3\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 4\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 5\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 6\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem 7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DIRTER PROMOTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077724979356,"sku":"DPROMLP177","price":26.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/chrisconnellyDPROMLP177.jpg?v=1781715238","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/chris-connelly-war-poem-military-grey-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
