Great amen usage. Does get a little old though. Ah... but I
don't really care, I like it all. =)

Oh it's from this track called Amen Brother... do a search
on a thread called "Breaks" and I posted a link to some MP3s
of the original break.

My one complaint about []pusher is that his old stuff sounds
dated and I can't listen to it anymore. Hard Normal Daddy
is totally irrelevant today - that who James Bond spy sound.

it's sampled from a song called 'amen brother' by the
winstons. an early 70's funk band. It's a wicked song btw.

funky drummer is originally from the james brown song of the
same name. it has a wierd kick drum part that is off the
beat.

If you find his stuff is getting too old listen to Go
Plastic...I don't think he uses the amen break in there. its
all this digital mess :) its cool

Amonbrune: bwhwahah he uses the amen in most of the songs if
not all on Go Plastic!

he doesn't use much of the amen break. just here and there
in few of the songs. I think it's most used in My Red Hot
Car.

my one complaint (same with aphex at times) is that of the 2
cds I have of his, Go Plastic and Music Is Rotted...,
neither have a real booklet. its just a single cover thing
with a picture on the back. The artwork is always sweet but
very few and far between. Thats why I love my little
geogaddi book! so much cool stuff. well thats my beef.

the one he uses at the beginning of 'come on my selector'
with the little 'uh huh' mixed in is called the 'think'
break...after the song think(about it) by lyn
williams...which is where it was sampled from

he uses the amen beak on go plastic.
my red hot car he uses it a bit
and in i wish you could talk he uses it a bit too.

Lynn Collins & The JBs - Think (About It). And he uses the
Amen quite a bit on Go Plastic. It's probably so twisted and
phased out through all of the time stretching and splicing
he does to it, that you can't really tell that it's the Amen
sometimes.

This is an amazing compilation of theirs....

check apache, you need real player, at the end of this tune
there is a 3 minute drum workout that is the heart of hip
hop/jungle etc.

but it's the amazing things he does with breaks not that
they becone more and more comercially avaliable - it's the
old dj shadow argument from yesterday - it's surely the
artists creativity that inspires you as much as the choices
of samples ... alot of "idm2 uses similar sofware but the
results are different and uneven ...

Yes, definately. I was helping someone find some of
Squarepushers inspirations. I couldn't give a shit about
'IDM' to be honest. Most of it is very bland and up it's
own arse.

am I the only one that spends hours creating my own
breaks?...am I just wasting time?..because as soon as anyone
hears a break they will just assume it's the amen break..I
mean if a lowly crap artists can create their own breaks..so
can []<....and I believe that he constantly does....it's not
really that hard...
