Well, I wouldn't say "the less used the better." Admittdely, the uncut amen has been overused, but this doesn't mean that if I take a break from a Raffi record it's going to necessarily be better. Theere is a reason that these breaks have been used so much- they're perfect for it. The amen can be cut any way you want and it still pieces back together beautifully and sounds "ruff" the whole time. I do, however, like to find new breaks because it is possible to change your sound by doing this. Saying a break is played out is like saying that the 909 is played out in a way. :) -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@curiousnetworks.com http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
