{"product_id":"war-poem","title":"War.Poem","description":"\u003cp\u003e“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 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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003e\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\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Connelly 2026\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide One:\u003cbr\u003eWar Poem Zero\u003cbr\u003e\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":"CARGO","offers":[{"title":"Limited LP (Military Grey Vinyl)","offer_id":51813418926397,"sku":"DPROMLP177","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/chrisconnellyDPROMLP177FRONT.jpg?v=1781008517","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/war-poem","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
