Did Pearl's Girl sample from somewhere else? Common sample ancestry?

The Pearl's Girl beats are made up of about 3 or 4 different samples, but mixed, edited, and manipulated in a specific way. That video game came out in 1998 and sounds exactly like Pearl's Girl, so it's likely sampling directly from Pearl's Girl.

Dark & Long mentioned in this video about the '90s ambient techno scene.
Possible conflict of interest: I made the video. Haha. But thought people might be interested.

That's surprisingly a very in-depth breakdown of everything around Born Slippy, great find. May be the only 30 years of Slippy item we end up getting, considering the lack of news so far this year. A lot of good album recommendations on that channel, though.

Strawberry Hotel gets a shoutout in this video with Sparks' Russell Mael:

Very old fan, just haven't posted in a while...


So, Lori Majewski has an hour-long show on Sirius XM where she either has a theme for the week or has a guest artist who then chooses all the music for that week. On Feb 15th of this year, she had on Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, who picked the Freur's "Doot Doot" as one of his songs. He then gave a bit of the history and blew Lori's mind away by "revealing" to her that the main members of Freur (Karl and Rick) were the same duo that had done "Born Slippy." If anyone's a subscriber, it's still in the archives.
