Who do you think makes the best use of it? |
||||||||
|

Haha, of course Squarepusher. Just curious... and yes I agree, Plug's amen usage is quite nice indeed. |

Aphex Twin n ofcourse Squarepusher. |

hmm i know what the amen break sounds like, on its own.. but can you define it exactely. i dun know much about music theory either i just play it by ear |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I think the winstons did a pretty good job with it |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what the flip is an amen break? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Drum Break from The Winstons "Amen Brother" Used very much in DnB produktions. Check out "that amen track" by Lemon D Or "Concealed Identity" by Source Direct There must be thousands of tracks using that break. |

how about best use of bob james' mardigas (the one with cow bells)? (apart from run dmc) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uh, wasn'z LTJ Bukem the first to famously use the Amen break? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even NWA used it in straight oughta commton |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come to think of it you're right. It'is on Straight outta Compton sure as hell. But isn't Bukem supposed to be the one bringing it into speedy clubdance environment? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah maybe youre right. But what about "Two Bad Mice" and those other old school pioneers. Wherent those chaps before him? I don't know because i haven't listen to Bukem very much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah...Bukem's more a "ambient" jungle kinda guy so I doubt the Amen would fit with him... It's probably easier to list those who haven't used the Amen rather than those who have.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I think Dillinja is one of best producers out there...his bass and Amen work is simply outstanding.... "Firery the Angels Fell"....and he samples Bladerunner/BLAKE in that Angels Fall track (which is simply stunning)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not going to claim any in-depth knowledge of jungle/ d'n'b, I've just seen this amen thing credited to Bukem several times. Anyway I don't like his style (or the whole good looking style for that matter) and agree that 'pusher pushed thebreak to the edge of panic. How can you be cooler than Come on my selector? |
||||||||

Oh, jand, by the way, thanks for the yesterday's tip on textz.com. Fucking great site. My office printer is going to have a hard couple of weeks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"It's probably easier to list those who haven't used the Amen rather than those who have.... " Youre so right there jand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No problem...it's a pretty underground site and one of my faves...It's almost as if someone has taken all my favourite textz and created a site especially for me... Glad you're enjoying it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, there are cool things at ctheory site too, but this one surpasses everything i've yet seen, probably due to their nonchalant copyright violation. Bless 'em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Bukem's at least partly resonsible for popularizing the Amen break in dnb, especially on his early singles, but he's hardly alone. What I find amazing is the versatility of the break itself, given that it's been used across the spectrum from the Bukem/Good Looking records types to Squarepusher. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, Morg. |

makes me wanna hear the original Amen Brother |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
COME ON MY SELECTAH!!!! Im mean everyone has used the amen break from Wu Tang Clan to Archrival... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
square pusher is da GOD OF da Amenz... the only othre person thats good at it is alec empire and Dj ss's old stuff jah m0n |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about the apache? used to death too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dillinja without a doubt has made some of the best use of the break...He is a very technical d'n'b artist and with tracks like Angels Fell and Armoured D he has to be considered as one of the best. I think Dom & Roland (imo Industry was the best d'n'b album ever, and the Frozen remix is superb) and DJ Trace are also excellent. I think Squarepusher is good but I don't like his Amen tracks, for some reason I think he strips a lot of the impact out of the break. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Action Break is used in a lot of the more recent drum and break stuff as well (Ed Rush and Optical etc.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For those who want to know WTF everyone's talking about: The Amen break is a sample from "Amen, Brother" by the Winstons and is one of the most heavily used breaks in d 'n b. |
