Already been talked about for a while here too :) - http://forum.watmm.com/topic/84942-amen-andrews-tba-ep-blueberry-records-101114/

I'll just quote Cellar Door from that thread in here:

Mostly excited by the second and last track based on the previews, sounds great.

YESSS!!

Digital release is today! Didn't even notice it in that Kudo link :)

Great news! I've been on another big jungle kick lately.

The Amen Andrews EPs are probably some of my most listened to tunes, this should be good. That's an ugly ass cover though

fuck yes

jesus christ this is really good, not just a continuation of previous Amen Andrews stuff. something.. more advanced? in parts it sounds like Vibert channeling newer era Machinedrum. Really loving News of the World

Just discovered Amen Andrews few days ago while digging into some jungle stuff, this EP drops at the perfect moment :)

I'm at work and I just bought it on iTunes... Damn I want to play this loud!

AMEN HQ

Drum n jungle n amen n samples n sunshine n fun n let's party n bass. Thanks, Luke. :)

amotherfucker is so good. so so good.

i'm better than Luke...

Better than I expected. Second track is my fave, it reminded me of old Squarepusher a bit. Have to get this on vinyl too!

Also one of my all-time faves :) but basically the first minute of Amen HQ could be Squarepusher, the melody sounded similar to the melody Theme From Ernest Borgnine + the first drums that drop in that Amen HQ track also sound really Squarepushery. After that it changes in proper Vibert amenry again.

That's right, I hear it too! Well, those guys emerged from the exact same scene, so similarities are bound to happen, especially since Luke is so much flirting with the 90's.

2nd track has a strong Squarepusher vibe indeed. I've not heard Luke write a melody like that before. Excellent!

Yes more advanced, he gave a break to remixing I mean "homaging" old jungle tracks and has now moved on to making cookie cuter '95 tracks with sample CD's. There's nothing groundbreaking other than sounding like old jungle which is fresh in some way, I guess.

yeah i wouldn't argue with you on the point thats its not groundbreaking, but i can't think of another current jungle producer who is making music equally as catchy. I mean some of the amen break chopping itself is just very stylishly tasty, the way he juggles the different snares in the amen in the first track for example, really nice.

AMOTHERFUCKaaAa! Great ep!!

edit:

am i the only one wich like also some of the spac hand luke things?

Just received the 12", too bad about the butt-ugly artwork on the label but whatever, the tracks are great :)
