Just cleaning up some bookmarks here and I found this... (probably old news to some of you and of no interest to others!).

But in case anyone here [i]is[/i] interested; make yourself a cuppa, grab a biscuit and have a gander at this excellent 20-minute documentary about "the world's most important 6-second drum loop": that being the infamous "Amen break", lifted from the track "Amen, Brother" as performed by the 1960s funk and soul outfit, The Winstons.

You might hate it, but I guarantee you'll recognise it :)
