This disc features Matt Johnson reciting the poem - which is divided into seven chapters of seven verses and interspersed with original music and soundscapes - some of which feature in the documentary film. There are 71 distinct tracks on this album.

    Part of the aforementioned documentary featured a 12-hour long political broadcast on UK General Election day.
