This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

as fast as it wants. but in my experience when you push the tempo past 220 bpm it stops sounding like you want it to.to the creator of this video:chin stroking art crowd my balls. "beyond the point of dancability and syncopation"... if you want dancable, may i recommend the new britney spears cd? the true self-indulgence here is that you write off some of the most brilliant artists in the world because you're not smart enough or musical enough to follow the beat.

I enjoyed the video except for the monotone narration, and all jungle isn't obsesed with the amen (although a lot sure is) and the apparent fact that the producer is not found of squarepusher.chin stroking art crowd that push the limits of absurdity with its use, sounds a little "absurd" to me.

Here's my question? How fast can jungle get?

haha yes and now does your respect for good producers grow? it takes ages to arrange a drum n bass amen break like the ones in this vid i mean its easy to chop it all up but then arrange it and make it sound funky and nice well thats the prick hahaha

I learned to play the drums with this beat! The first time I ever touched a kit, this was what I played. I went from there. Strange that my brain defaulted to that!
