− | The track is made up of portions of '''21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite)''', an instrumental track recorded during sessions for [[Madhouse]]’s third album [[Album: 24 (1989)|24]]. The suite is made up of four pieces ('''21 (The Dopamine Rush)''', '''22 (Amsterdam)''', '''23 (Spanish Eros)''' and '''24 (Orgasm)'''), but was intended as one continuous track. Basic tracking took place in late July 1988 at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse_Studios Townhouse Studios], London, England, while on the [[Lovesexy Tour]]. [[Prince]] worked on the track further on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 23|23 August 1988]] at Medley Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, before [[Prince]] asked engineer Chuck Zwicky to extend the track by repeating the underlying drum pattern over four separate pieces. On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December_10|10]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December_11|11 December 1988]], [[Prince]] added further instrumentation and vocal samples, with [[Eric Leeds]] adding saxophone and flute on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December_10|11 December 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The track was included as the fifth and final track on the album [[Album: 24 (1989)|24]], before the album was abandoned. In August 1989, [[Prince]] asked [[Eric Leeds]] to compile tracks from the vault for a third [[Madhouse]] album. A track was compiled by [[Eric Leeds]] using portions of '''21 (The Dopamine Rush)''' and '''24 (Orgasm)''', and, in keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases, tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]] (the album would be titled [[Album: Times Squared|26]]) - this track was given the title of '''23''' as the seventh track on the album at the time. When [[Prince]] suggested the album should be released as a solo album by [[Eric Leeds]], Leeds came up with titles for each track, in Spring 1990; this track became known as '''The Dopamine Rush''' and the album became known as [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]. | + | The track is made up of portions of '''21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite)''', an instrumental track recorded during sessions for [[Madhouse]]’s third album [[Album: 24 (1989)|24]].

The last piece also includes various moans by [[Vanity]] lifted from the unreleased [[Vanity 6]]’ song [[Vibrator]] (also previously sampled on [[Seven]] and later on the similarly-titled [[Orgasm]]). The salsa-flavoured '''23 (Spanish Eros)''' samples [[Apollonia]] speaking in Spanish lifted from [[Apollonia 6]]’s [[In A Spanish Villa]]. Only [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathilda_May Mathilda May]’s vocals were kept for the released version. |
