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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\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…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Connelly 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou are unlikely to hear a record of such brutal intensity, or indeed authenticity as this.
