Amen, Brother!

Lucian | Wednesday, April 23, 2008

One of the most enlightening things I have ever heard and/or read is this very informing piece about the Amen Break. Apart from being a very educating clip about part of the history of Jungle, Drum and Bass and Hip-Hop, it expresses in the best possible way my own feelings about what is happening today in the world of copyright and in the music industry as a whole. I plan to cover such topics individually in the future, as they happen, but this really is a very good general introduction.

The clip speaks by itself. I know it is fairly long, but I believe it is totally worth listening to it.


Quite impressive, isn’t it? For more completeness, here is the full song by The Winstons:
