It / Amen break

Nel 1969, un gruppo Soul/Funk chiamato “The Winstons” se ne uscì con un album dal nome “Color Him Father”. Sul lato-B dello stesso era incisa una canzone chiamata “Amen Brother”. Conteneva un assolo di batteria della durata di 5 secondi. Questo assolo, conosciuto come amen break, ha la particolarità di essere il singolo frammento musicale più campionato della storia moderna. Qualsiasi genere, dall'Hip-hop alla Techno, dal Rock al Metal, ne ha fatto uso di quando in quando. È uno dei frammenti più presenti della cultura pop nella musica. Interi generi musicali gli devono la loro intera esistenza. Il Jungle e/o il Drum-n-Bass^note qualcuno crede che i due termini siano intercambiabili; altri sostengono che il secondo sia un sottogenere del primo sono quasi del tutto costruiti attorno l'uso creativo dell'Amen Break; qualche volta smembrando il campione in piccoli pezzi e ricostruendolo in forma nuova.

Potete ascoltarlo qui. Se volete conoscerne meglio la storia, andate qui. Potete trovare la teoria di uno scienziato sulla supposta perfezione matematica dell'Amen Break qui.
