Playschool

One main version:

* (1982) - Atomic Roses (1:20), Traumstadt I (1:20), Traumstadt I CD (4:54 - 6:18)

An instrumental song with a vocoded news sample about the Second World War (specifically the Battle of the Bulge, I think). All mixes fade in from "What's Next?" overlayed briefly with a sped up instrumental portion. All mixes end with a heavy echo, which mixes with the following song ("Sex").

Instruments: Droning synth chord, vocoded news sample with lots of reverb, backwards keyboard line near the end.

And here was Montgomery, by himself, in his ?, in France, he ?, no one to talk to, but suddenly he discovered that this was going on because he heard from Churchill, and he hadn't heard from Eisenhower. And he was just beside himself, because he expected that his commander, who was Eisenhower, if he had ? who was running the campaign, would have come to him, ?
