I always liked those history-of-electornic-instruments parts of documentarys like the PBS aired History Of Rock And Roll episode 10 : The Perfect Beat's 808 or Modulations type 303-909 worshippin.. On The perfect Beat they mentioned Public Enemy`s first use of Funky Drummer on Fight the Power. But they failed to mention NWA`s use of Amen on "Straight outa Compton". Andrew Duke wrote:

actually it was used way before on the Beastie Boys Lisence To Ill on "Robbing and Stealing" (Alibaba and the 40 thieves) Other worthy mentions: Bjork`s Army of Me. And Tears for Fears`s "Shout" for the snare sound only (seems weird but I`m pretty sure of that one)

Actually the "Amen" breakbeat comes from "The Winstons" on the B side of "Color me father", Whereas the "Apache" break comes from the Incredible bongo band`s Apache track Both of them were indeed used to death in early jungle. Now maybe some other break geek can help me on this one: What`s the origin of the one used in Panacea`s Lightbringer?? (dont be confused `cause there are also traces of Amen in there as well) That sample was also used on the B side of Plug's "Cut 97" 12" I listened to all of the breaks on Audio113 and didnt find anything like it.. It hasnt been used on as many tracks as Amen, but it is equally powerfull. Cheers! -------------- while(1)fork();
