This is what I don't get the beats aren't exactly majorly original but the quality of the trax is superb. Now that is really all I care about that the quality is there. Sick of all this pressure to innovate or whatever. Still I think there is certainly a fresh take on amen breaks/jungle with these releases.

Most of the Amen Andrews tracks are just remixes, and they aren't any better or worse than the originals (well some are actually worse)

using common old school jungle/rave samples is not remixing.
name me one original song that he remixed on these eps.

The whole point of these is an affectionate look back to the early Amen based jungle tunes....nothing ever droped like that break (And it lends itself to great mashing & cutting....)...
\\\\\\would it be sad to admit I've been known to listen to a looped sample of Amen - it's just a fascinating Rhyhtm..

I love the Amen Andrews releases, I think maybe they just sound similar to older stuff I have on vinyl, and obviously building tracks around the Amen loop is going to lead to a familiarity.
Babylon by Splash has been remixed quite a few times. The Ray Keith mix was good and the DJ SS wasn't bad.

It's a quality drum break. You can take it apart and move every part of it around and it still sounds great. It's something about it that' just perfect. It just works on every level.
You can change pitch, tempo, arrangement whatever and it still sounds great.

Nah the reason you haven't heard any of my Amen stuff is because I only put my shit music on the internet.
The good stuff lies in a dormant, not quite finished state on my computer. :P
