Can I Get An Amen? begins with the track Amen, Brother by '60s soul band The Winstons, tracing the transformation of the song's drum solo in its original context as part of a B-side vinyl single into its use as a key aural ingredient in contemporary musical expression. The work scrutinizes the techno-utopian notion that "information wants to be free," questioning sample culture’s efficacy as a democratizing agent. This as well as other issues are foregrounded through a history of the Amen Break and its peculiar relationship to copyright law.
