Stars on Sunday

Two main versions:

* "Full Version" (1981) - Chemical Playschool 2 (11:27)

* "Edited Version" (1981) - Kleine Krieg (6:40)

The Edited Version ends abruptly after the "Phallus Dei" section but is otherwise identical to the Full Version.

The Full Version is 6 sections mixed together:

1. 0:00 - 3:48 "Stars on Sunday." Discordant keyboard melody, sequenced squeaky synth, and Ka-Spel howling improvised lyrics in the background (something about dancing with a woman in a church, something about heaven). A segment of this appeared in "Break Down."

2. 3:48 - 3:48 The sped-up Russian chanting from the end of Mpnmep Cptaha crossfades between sections 1 and 3.

3. 3:58 - 6:07 A heavily-distorted drum pattern is played with lots of glitches, with a discordant improvised melody played over top and a buzzing-fly synth sound. More incomprehensible vocals; sections 1 and 3 may in fact be from the same recording session, with section 2 inserted to fill a quiet portion. Cuts off suddenly, and after a second of silence:

4. 6:07 - 6:50 A heavily-distorted section from "Phallus Dei" with lots of tremolo. Suddenly replaced by:

5. 6:50 - 9:20 A likewise distorted section from "Before the End," lyrics replaced by more improvised and impossible-to-hear vocals and an insectoid synth melody. The synth crossfades with...

6. 9:20 - 11:27 The Mpnmep Cptaha chanting, quiet vocals (something about "dancing shoes") that are impossible to hear, keyboard booping, and erratic snatches from "Before the End."
