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.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.Although the rhythm sounds very similar, Futurama's (or Pierre Henry's) precisely lacks Amen Break's  characteristic syncopation on its fourth bar.
