I agree with 'ya, Tom. Anyone looking for a testament to the effective and *strong* usage of this oh so typical and oh so overused break, look no further than the Reckan( ......you spell the rest ) release of "Attention: Cats" of fellow idm lister Hrvatski....takes a *dump* on the heads of all Amen break cliche whores who attempt to work with it and fail. Yeah, I know its been out quite a while, it *still* rules. And as for cliches and overused breaks, the JB's "Funky Drummer" break *still* rocks the brains out of my head even though *that's* been played out *way* more than Amen, yes? That's the biggest cliche break in the history of modern dance music and IT STILL KICKS ASS! It ain't the tools, it's what you do with them.

I for one fully support the Amen break- If sample libraries were like bars, it would be the draft beer. > xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, Peter Becker fax: 718-246-6870 , attention "Becker, Box 282" mailing adress: 138 Court St. , Box 282 , Brooklyn, NY 11201
