A History of the Amen Break: From the Winstons to Futurama and Om Unit
Although the Amen Break is nearly omnipresent, I think the Futurama mention is misguided.<p>The rhythm in Futurama is the same as in the song it's based on: Psyche Rock by Pierre Henry. That song was published two years before Amen Brother.<p>Although the rhythm sounds very similar, Futurama's (or Pierre Henry's) precisely lacks Amen Break's  characteristic syncopation on its fourth bar.
