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
