What's your favourite amen tune?

[stethoscope]

 

[ska invita]

As good as it gets


Have to go outside now - is what made me think of it brrrr...

 

[Orang Utan]

Adam F's Metropolis, or Nico and Ed Rush's Mad Different Methods

 

[Moronik]

oh gosh, this is impossible to choose..... theres too many!!

Just discovered this Equinox!!!

(Also strong contender for the drum programming thread )

 

[rutabowa]

this one starts of calm but don't be fooled, it gets more and more crazy throughout:

 

[rutabowa]

another of that e.p., the whole e.p. is amen frenzy but with weird easy listening organs etc

 

[rutabowa]

this one is more proper rave-style jungle

 

[Metal Malcolm]

THANK YOU. I'd totally forgotten I have that 12". Will be sticking that on the decks tonight.

In addition, I don't think i've ever heard an amen chopped up as nastily as this:



Still debating getting an amen tattoo later this year. Thoughts?

 

[Totan]

The one that came to mind straight away was DJ Crystl - Warp Drive. Amazing tune.

Good call on Plug. Just picked up the new/old Plug LP on Ninja tune. Hasn't blown me away, but they've always been growers...

i'm curious about that, i heard it is a bit more dancefloor than what he released at the time? which sounds good. i used to love his stuff anyway but it was a bit quirky sometimes.

Not sure about that, it's still rather 'quirky' as you put it. Few tracks are on youtube I think, I know 'Feeling So Special' is...

 

[rutabowa]

ah it's on Spotify, will have a listen.

 

[sim667]

does this one count?

 

[FunkyUK]

In fact, almost every track on Chase and Status's Album 'More than a Lot' uses the Amen break heavily. but this stands out for me.

All time though, King of the Beats... I even enjoy the William hill commercial.


Amen Break Spotify playlist here... though not sure on some of them

I question your use of the word:

heavily.

Good call. Id really like to find the earliest use of it.

does this one count?

yup

 

[cypher79]

This is the only other tune on 'More Than A Lot' with an amen break;

 

[rutabowa]

amen only comes in about halfway.... darkside tune

Definitely. Not a bad flip either


goosepimples to this day

 

[ska invita]

Two rude Amen sections in this one.... hell yeah

 

[ska invita]

What a top bit of amen this one is - completely its own groove, goes beyond the confines of the original break
great bit of programming


eta; hah! I posted this in the last post two years ago
still so big though

Tough one, but I think it could be this one. Definitely top three anyway...
