@Wormwood The only thing that this song reminds me of now is how much of a kike he was and how he had to be sued to pay royalties for the sample in that song, which he just straight up stole with no credit.

>The original recording sampled by Enigma for "Return to Innocence" was a performance of a traditional Amis song, often referred to as "Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1," "Elders' Drinking Song," or "Jubilant Drinking Song," performed by Difang Duana (Kuo Ying-nan) and Igay Duana (Kuo Hsiu-chu), an Amis couple from Taiwan. The recording was made in 1988 by ethnomusicologist Hsu Tsang-houei during a cultural exchange tour in France, organized by the Maison des Cultures du Monde. It was later included in a compilation album, Polyphonies vocales des aborigènes de Taïwan, intended for educational purposes.

>Difang and Igay were unaware their voices were used until a friend recognized them in the song, which became a global hit and was featured in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. They were initially pleased their music was appreciated but were upset about the lack of permission, credit, or compensation. In 1997, they filed a lawsuit against Enigma’s producer Michael Cretu, Virgin Records, and others for unauthorized use. The case was settled out of court in 1999 for an undisclosed amount, with the Duanas receiving full royalties for the song thereafter. Cretu claimed he believed the recording was in the public domain, but the lack of initial recognition sparked significant controversy over cultural appropriation and intellectual property rights.

(And before you ask, he has Jewish and Roma ancestry, so a double shot at being a thief).
