I'd really like to hear the original version of this album. They say it was first released on a handful of cassettes back in 1984, that were badly damaged in a fire, so Konietzko had to salvage the sound that was left on them and rework/fill them with some new sounds back in 2002. I wonder how different the remastered version of Opium is from it's original sound? I guess we will never quite know...
I think some people had cassettes before the bulk got damaged. Only if one of them decides to somehow upload it as pristinely as possible, or hand it back to sasha. Or sell them online for a likely handsome price.
It's not a sample, Sascha is singing the poem "Rat an die Schauspielerin C.N" by Bertold Brecht. It's reversed and you can't understand much of it because the music is so loud but it goes like this: "Erfrische dich, Schwester An dem Wasser aus dem Kupferkessel mit den Eisstückchen - Öffne die Augen unter Wasser, wasch sie - Trockne dich ab mit dem rauhen Tuch und wirf Einen Blick in ein Buch, das du liebst. So beginne Einen schönen und nützlichen Tag."
The song gets better the more you get sick of listening to it

An dem Wasser aus dem Kupferkessel

Trockne dich ab mit dem rauhen

Einen Blick in ein Buch, das du liebst.
So beginne
Einen schönen und nützlichen Tag."
