It's been a surprisingly good week despite being chockablock busy. Music wise, I'll be honest and say that I haven't really had the time to even look for new music, let alone think of some constructive and worthwhile words to say (some would argue I've never reached that level).
So, in the spirit of doing things differently, here's a brilliantly instructional video about the origins of the Amen break, the drum loop that was chopped and screwed to form beats for most of hip hop, jungle and the earlier forms of drum and bass.
True, it does last for 18minutes but it is so wonderfully instructional and detailed without being complex, anyone with a vested interest in those genres will find it a pleasure to learn the derivation of it's core element - the drums.
