its importance is
1) its used a EVERYWHERE, once you hear it and become familiar with it you begin to here it in all sorts of songs, on TV, in movies, etc etc.
2) the copyright owners have never asked to be compensated for its sampling! imagine how much money they would receive if all of the thousands of people who used it paid them for it!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac: “Despite jungle and drum and bass being over ten years old now, they still have their hardcore fans, even if they base their devotion partly on the nostalgia of the early UK scene. I find this quite interesting: hundreds of tracks, dozens of DJs, a number of clubs and events - in effect an entire sub-culture, based on this one drumloop, I mean: based on six seconds from 1969”
“Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.”

“Can I Get An Amen? is an audio installation that unfolds a critical perspective of perhaps the most sampled drum beat in the history of recorded music, the Amen Break. It begins with the pop track Amen Brother by 60’s soul band The Winstons, and traces the transformation of their drum solo from its original context as part of a ‘B’ side vinyl single into its use as a key aural ingredient in contemporary cultural expression.”
