Well, the Jungle Dett tune has both a 'clean' amen and one with the string as well as just the string, so it MUST be the source.

Just spotted it because of the string and amen... Can't miss it. :wub: Love it! :D ;)

Review about Junlge Dett:

 

"But "Jungle Dett" on the B-side is the real killer on here. It fused the hip hop stuff of the A-side with the house/techno/rave elements to a much greater degree:

the synths from Kevin Saunderson's "Rock To The Beat",

the "Wee-ee" sound from Loleatta Holloway's "Sweet Sensation" that was made popular by Nitro Deluxe's "The Brutal House"

James Brown grunts, The Amen Break,

a massive bassline,

bits from the original rap off the flip,

a reggae intro and little hints all the way through,

blimey the list just goes on- This is proto jungle if ever I heard it.

 

Play at +8 for maximum dancefloor devastation!"

Omg's! And I was planning to make an id post about this:

"The three big remaining amen derivatives"

 

Looks like I'll have to title it 'the TWO remaining' now. Good stuff.

Excellent work http://www.classifiedlistening.com/tarzanstuff/emoticons/pro.gif

 

As I may have mentioned before this break really does hits so hard when used right. I will post up my best example shortly but until then there is a Tom & Jerry track that uses this, see if you can spot it

 

I'm sure Bizzy B's probably used it a couple of times too

Right I said I would post up my prime example of its usage, and its this

 

Tunnel Vision - Dark Secrets

Absolutely awesome tune, gotta be one of my favourites:

As you can see, what can be done with the break when its in the right hands. Has a kind of hard, mechanical feel thats not present in the original amen. This is why I love this variant so.

 

Unfortunately the Youtube clip cuts short, right as its getting going even! But should give you the idea (that bass needs turning up a bit as well)

That "mechanical" feel is easily achieved using compression to remove the ride cymbals, bringing the kick and snare forward. Lots of people did in later years when there was an obsession for ultra clean beats. I'm not so keen on it myself, i think it loses its flow. But is nicer to layer, so to each there own.

 

One thing reamains though, the Amen is a killer break no matter which way you slice it!

Lol that's news to me! Thanks.

 

After reading what you wrote, i then noticed the "like this" tab on the right. Is rank related to that? If so i really need to make use of it, so many golden nuggets in these pages.

 

EDIT: Having said that, i just try to use the "like this" button for the first time and apparently have reached my quota for the day...Huh?

I don't think it's related, but you're a member now instead of music enthousiast.
