The world's most important 6-sec drum loop

If you haven't seen this before i would highly suggest checking it out !

Summed up - its about the history of the Amen break, its influence its had on culture and its use without the fear of violating copyright laws.

Its pretty amazing what 6 seconds back in 1969 has done for us culturally, i find it a shame that this sort of thing is not being allowed to continue :(

If it wasn't for the Amen break we wouldn't have drum and bass, i hate to think of all the other cultural movements we have missed out on because of such strict copyright laws.

Well worth watching....thanks for posting!

No problem, glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks Bento

Video is called "Can I Get An Amen?" by artist Nate Harrison, and it's a recording of his art piece where you enter a room, go up to the SL1210 and put the needle on the record yourself. Only a single acetate of the recording was made to highlight the impermanence of the... zzzzzzzz<snore>. Sorry, fell asleep there.

He also made a video about the history of the Roland TB303 called "Bassline baseline".
