Drum and Bass, ten years late
So I was debating whether or not to put this up, because it's mildly embarrassing how late to the game I am on this one, but I just had my mind blown. Listen:
It's "Vic Acid," by Squarepusher, from 1997. I have no idea why its having such an effect on me, but ... whoa.
I heard it in this video explaining the history of the "Amen break," a drum beat heavily used in music for nearly 50 years (referenced in this post). It's 18 minutes of a guy speaking in near monotone, but it's really interesting, if you're a dork.
Anyway, that's what I'm on today.
