To my knowledge there isn't one CD with loads of the original tunes that the D&B breaks are on, you'll find that most are Hip-Hop orientated anyway. So basically you'll have to decide which breaks you are after first. Having said that, all the ones I've bought I love the music on them anyway, so it's never been a waste. Also it gives you new breaks to use.
As mentioned 'The Breaks' series are very good, though actually they are on Harmless Records (which do loads of this sort of stuff). The 1st one 'DJ Pogo presents The Breaks' has 'Apache', 'Funky Drummer', 'Scorpio', 'Let A Woman Be A Woman...', 'God Made Me Funky' and 'Funky Mule' which have all been well used, so it's probably got the most on. There are another three, one by Cutmaster Swift and two by Skye. Also I've got a couple on Strut Records called 'DJ Pogo presents Block Party Breaks Vol 1 & 2'. The Winstons 'Amen, Brother' is on Volume 2. Other useful ones include:- Mastercuts Compilation called 'Mastercuts Breaks', this has 'Funky Drummer', 'Think (About It)', 'NT' and 'It's A New Day'. James Brown double CD called 'The Instrumentals 1960-1969' which has 'Soul Pride', 'Tighten Up' and 'Funky Drummer' . Virgin Records compilations 'Sampled Vol 1,2 & 3'. These are dbl CD's but are easily the most commercial ones here (loads of samples from Chart tunes), though they all still have some interesting finds. Anyway I hope this helps, Graeme. ----- Original Message ----- > do any of you know a good cd compilation that has the full-length songs that > we commonly sample from? for example, "amen brother" by the winstons, > "think about it" by lyn collins, "tighten up" by maceo, "funky drummer" by > jb... i'd really like to hear how all of these breaks were used originally, > but buying 20 cd's would suck. i know just once cd compilation would be > asking too much, so how about a handful that are good? > > joe --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
