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: >coldcut's beats and pieces, for example, >was the first track to use led zepelin's >break from when the levee breaks to >show best what i'm talking about here. 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) >much of the early "trip hop" was essentially >breaks with some stuff on top, same for >some hip hop. >much of the early jungle just took the >incredible bongo band's break from >their track "amen" and looped it, 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();
