I've enjoyed listening to drum n bass and related music genres my whole life and have recently started obsessing over it a lot. The Amen Break is just so versatile and used across so many different genres
Do you know this very meditative video, explaining the history of the break?
Yeah I'm not even into music in the slightest, and immensely enjoyed that video when I watched it... ages ago.
Now it's impossible to not hear the amen break.
If the person reading this doesn't know what "the amen break" is, watch the video. Awesome.
I didn't even need to click the link, remembered the thumbnail.
I love, how this project was done. Someone wrote and narrated the text, searched for all the music samples and pressed it on a record, when YouTube was already a thing. This is art!
and pressed it on a record,
Holy shit I never realised that. ~~Either~~ it's actually pressed on an record, ~~or he just used a video recording of some other disc being played and then added it to this video. As he'd have to use separate audio probably anyway, unless he put the output from the player directly into the camera. Anyhow, I never noticed that as I mostly listened this. However it's done yeah,~~ Love it.
Edit he specifically says it is a track made for this specific purpose because of the thing he says, I had forgot, because it's been years since I watched this.
Holy shit the narrative is so relevant to today's generative AI debate
