Don't know if it's the same movie because that link won't download for me, but in the event it isn't, check this page out. There's a short spoken word article/docu on the Amen break that I thought was really interesting; the guy who narrates reminds me of Steven Wright, the voice of radio DJ K-Billy in Reservoir Dogs. There's also a link to a docu about the 303 on the same site, which is quite informative too. Anyhoo...

download the break, open it up in your audio editor > hit "print Scrn" then paste it into MSPaint / phtoto shop etc...

Haha, that's pretty cool...

On a slightly more serious note, I thought that this guy makes a very valid point about copyright law...and makes it very well. Opinions?

 

[Lost Soul]

Good point, near enough the entire jungle scene is breaking copyright. But pretty much all dance does that anyway!
