Grey color vinyl. "War.Poem was recorded at The Rock Noir studio in 2025/2026 as a reaction to a piece I read on the Israeli military use of flechette shells in Gaza. This led to a much deeper study of the 20th/21st century history of war. The album was composed entirely using a Tape O Matic 710 reel to reel from 1958, a 1960s 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. The 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. This 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." --Chris Connelly, 2026

There is so much that Dirtier could say about the legend that is Chris Connelly performing his takes on the music of the equally legendary TG, but this time the label is going to leave it in the words of the man himself. This record goes ahead with the blessing of the surviving members of Throbbing Gristle, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. "Having carved a twisted career with behemoths Ministry & Revolting Cocks over the past 40 years, starting life with the formidable Fini Tribe and collaborating with disparate characters such as Killing Joke, Cabaret Voltaire, Jim O' Rourke, and too many others, I have returned to my first love, Throbbing Gristle, armed with a cassette recorder, a reel to reel, a razor blade and some tape, I want to invoke the spirit of mid to late '70s live TG , random, tense, scary and compulsively fascinating. White Phosphorus is for the TG connoisseur, for the morbidly curious, and the tragically dysfunctional amongst us." This record is packaged in the spirit of the earliest Throbbing Gristle releases and is very much coming from a '70s Xerox angle. It's pressed on 180gram heavy black vinyl.
