hello all. fotive me if this seems an ignorant question, but i was just wondering what exactly an amen break is? i listen to primarily electronic music and loads of it, however i'm not too familiar with the actual terms dealing with things such as breaks. so, it'd be great if anybody could tell me at least what an amen break is, and maybe if someone is willing to take the time, a small glossary of sorts, or where i can find one on the web, of the various terms dealing with electronic music theory, rhythm, etc. thanks much. >ad infinitum. Something about that bugs me far more than a relatively >unobtrusive "boom" on every beat in a techno / house /whatever tune. I >mean, the above _can_ be cool, but it's soooo played out. It's more of a >cliche than the old amen break, because at least people cut the rhythm of >that one up sometimes. > > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chris Perkins "It's nice to be important, xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx but it's more important to be nice." <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> http://members.wbs.net/homepages/t/e/k/teknodeth.html <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Man is no machine, Thorns they lurk on Man is no God, rose's stem.
