Peace Krime #2

One main version:

* (1981) - Chemical Playschool 1 (2:41), Kleine Krieg (3:38), Prayer for Aradia Bonus Tracks (2:41)

AKA Peace Crime 2.

On Kleine Krieg the song fades in from an untitled prefix and fades out through an untitled suffix, accounting for the longer running time. On other releases the song fades in and out cleanly.

Essentially two songs: a discordant vocoder/organ experiment with a quiet, melodic portion in the middle.

Instruments: Vocoder voice; organ chords; windy synth noise; football chanting samples; news program samples; sequenced keyboard bassline; plinky keyboard melody;

Prefix "Wednesday Night Fever" (0:44):

Sound collage that only appears on Kleine Krieg.

Instruments: Vocoder voice; windy synth noise; crowd noises; lots of echo; backwards, sped-up keyboard sequence; snippet of keyboards from the Clicky Version of "Thursday Night Fever," which appears later on the tape.

Suffix "Birds" (0:27):

Sound collage that only appears on Kleine Krieg.

Instruments: Chirping birds; echoing, oscillating keyboard sound that gradually becomes more distorted; piano synth chords.

Lyrics:

(...something but they never stir, they've never seen a lady that's howling and they keep complaining but they take no notice, they just take no notice, they sit up [?] when they get bored of the sodding, fucking radio)

...with someone who is serving a sentence for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...with someone who is serving a sentence for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...with someone who is serving a sentence for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...serving a sentence for crime. Crime is crime is crime.
...question of granting political status. I just hope that anyone who is on hunger strike for his own sake will see fit to come off hunger strike, but that is a matter for him.
...I just hope that anyone who is on hunger strike for his own sake will see fit to come off hunger strike, but that is a matter for him.

Why you should care:

The "crime is crime" samples -- supposedly of Margaret Thatcher -- are also used in "Peace Krime #1" and the "Full Band Version" of "Apocalypse Then" (among other places).
