Although Nate's voice is rather monotonous, I found this 20-minute video interesting. The Amen Break has certainly melded into the collective audio unconscious. I've realized how common this break is now. :|

If you warp the original 1969 song into 128 bpm and mash it on top of my track they merge together (sounds really cool ) but I am not allowed to sample anything from the original track other than the drum loop haha
I just thought you could have used the amen break drum beat in more of the song. But, you've gone for a more electrohouse almost dubstep style, which is ok too.

21.02.2012		Um, other than part with the original amen break, is it used elsewhere in the track?

21.02.2012		hey guys while we are in the topic of the amen break, just wanna share my remix of the winstons' amen brother that i did for my school assignment

as a part of my school assignment i need to get people's feedback and document them in a marketing research essay, so please kindly let me know what you believe

i still need to do some final touch ups and mastering but the whole idea is pretty much here

29.12.2011		First time I've seen that, so I appreciate the post.

Particularly enjoyed the last few quotations about sampling and how copyright laws can have an adverse effect on the creation of new music.

I thought the monotone voice worked given the context

28.12.2011		Yeah this is wicked. Just goes to show, the smallest things can inspire massive movements.

18.12.2011		Interesting stuff. The commentator's voice reminded me of these guys.
