>Which break is the "amen" break?
I haven't got any of the comps you mentioned in front of me, but I'll
name a few tunes that you might have heard which use it...
2 Player - 'Extreme Possibilities (Wagon Christ mix)'
Plug - 'Military Jazz', 'Cheesy (Amen mix)'
DJ Food - 'Scratch yer Hed' (Squarepusher mix)
Source Direct - 'Secret Liaison' and 'The Crane'
Aquarius - 'Dolphin Tune'
Peshay - 'Piano Tune'
J Majik - 'Arabian Knights', 'Needlepoint Majik' and 'Your Sound'
Dillinja - 'Ja Know Ya Big' and loads of others
Doc Scott - 'Drumz 95'
Intense - 'Breathless'
It also appears in the original form on NWA's 'Straight Outta
Compton' and the original is taken from the b-side of 'Amen, Brother' by
the Winstons. You'll recognise it instantly as soon as you figure out
which one it is - it's *the* most used break in jungle. Now you've just
got to spot the 'helicopter' and 'apache' breaks...
see ya
