I used to work with Dee Generate from Eater (the one on the left of that sleeve) for Social Services. Strangely, he'd changed his name to Roger Bullen at that point though. We talked about Bowie a lot.

First time I heard it I was certain is was a straight sample. Maybe a bar, spliced a bit. And I assumed that was Gaye's "whoo". I guess I was wrong but I dunno…
