It is explained in the website:
Torture Music is the kind of music that’s perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country on a lazy afternoon.

The Ultimate Collection DOWNLOAD-DVD inlcudes both The White Site Album and The Black Site Album.
