Review Highlights
“...this CD is a must for anyone creating techno-pop tunes - or for anyone creating anything vaguely electronic-sounding with a sampler. Ambient-dance acts will love the filtered sections, rave and acid fans will love the blippy loops, Industrial bands will want the heavy kicks and sub-basses, Kraftwerk eyro-artists will use the thips, pings and electronic percussion noises, new age nuts will layer the sweeps with their guitars...Lucky Bastard is one hell of a useful CD. 9/10" - Future Music
"Five Stars in every category." - Keyboard, USA
"would certainly make a worthwhile addition to many peoples sample library. 8/10." - SoundUser
"this CD could fulfill most analogue dreams, be they industrial, ambient, techno or just clouded, gibbering fantasies" - Music Technology

More info on the Producer
Norman Cook needs no introduction. Norman was a founding member of the Housemartins but has since gone on to match their chart successes with Beats International, Freak Power, Pizza Man and more recently as Fatboy Slim. Freak Power's hit 'Tune In, Turn On, Freak Out' was adopted as the Levi's theme. Norman is also a top DJ and is known to be one of the best judges of dance music on Earth. International number one singles from the No. 1 LP 'You've Come A Long Way Baby' such as 'Rockafeller Skank' and 'Praise You' have gone on to make Norman one of the hottest properties around! He now bitterly regrets giving away so much good stuff on this CD. If you haven't got this yet, what's keeping you? It still sounds as hot as ever and is an essential for any dance producer's sonic arsenal. 

Staying true to Hip Hop traditions, fresh from LA's Latin Gangsta 'Hood! The World's FIRST Apple Loops CD is a monster!

Review Highlights
UltraMagnetic Beats - MacUser UK - 5 Stars
Pros - Authentic hip-hop drum loops + Cool bass samples + Good melodies
Cons - None

"It's not all about hip-hop, either: this might have been the inspiration for the overall vibe of the CD, but these loops sound pretty fabulous wherever you use them.

All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes."

"The loops sound great, right in the pocket of sounding street and fahnky... these are hip due to Lukecage's production skills and ear, as well as the quality control that AMG is becoming known for... I think AMG is trying something else this time and it works: it refreshing!... Some of the melodic pieces are really inspiring...very lovely and very, very useful...These are very musical loops with a warm feel...this refill is done just as good as it can get. Cool!...a lot of great sounding material and inspiration. AMG has another winner...this Refill is a cool funky booty Refill! Another winner for AMG!" - raapie.nl

"This CD was a pleasure to use, with allot of variations to play around with. It seems that the underlying theme of the CD was the ability to diversify ones sound, which isn’t the case in many of the hip-hop themed rex cd’s out there now... the concept and sounds that support this CD are stunning... a great addition to a producer’s collection." - ReasonFreaks.com

Contents
A jaw-dropping collection of 78 loops typically including drums, bass, melody and any other elements in isolation too so you can easily remix everything to perfectly suit your application. This is a CD that must be heard, it's something very special. 634.3 MB of samples!

Review Highlights 
160dB: The Drum&Bass Interface - MacUser UK, Nov 2003 - 4 Stars
Pros - Lovely sax and upright bass loops + Good price
Cons - Most drum loops too genre-specific

"Much of it is excellent. There are a lot of mellow flavours designed to juxtapose the relentless drums. In particular, the sax, Rhodes and upright bass loops are brilliant at defining a mood, featuring fluid energetic playing. Laid over any kind of drumbeat, these can be very inspiring, while the massive Atmosphere samples and FX automatically add a moody vibe to any scene. For £30, the jazzy instrumentation is worth getting.

All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes."

KEY BUY WINNER “I could blather about how great this library is, but second listener Greg Rule sums it up best: ‘From the evocative pads and wicked synth basses to the expressive instrumental riffs and edgy loops, there are loads of club-ready components for launching a track. I defy any electronic music lover to give this library a test drive and not walk away buzzed.’” - KEYBOARD MAGAZINE

"Back with a bang...9/10" - Computer Music

"Overall - Essential purchase for Drum and Bass makers - 9/10." - Sounduser Review

More info on the Producer
Coldcut have always been at the cutting edge of the UK dance scene, in fact they've probably usually been too far ahead of the trends to achieve the full measure of commercial success their talent has deserved. Their unique approach has won them recognition amongst their peers and established their credentials amongst the UK's leading dance authorities. Aside from their own records they've produced or remixed countless records, have their own record label and radio show, and are heavily involved in multimedia. They've recently returned with a new LP featuring a CD-ROM of stuff for your computer and produced a widely acclaimed 'Journeys by DJ' mix CD.

Review Highlights
"Coldcut's samples are raw, wicked and packed into the terraces...the quality of the music content is very high...quite brilliant, and definately going into my S770...this CD represents another 'must have' for any serious dance enthusiast." - Sound On Sound

"...this CD is meaty...Probably the most DJ friendly thing not on vinyl." - Mixmag Update

"...this library is built to be exploited...Used properly, these sounds are one of the secrets of modern dance music...pre-selected for you by four of the best ears in the business." - Music Technology

"...well over 1,000 samples crammed onto this disc awaiting artful regurgitation." - Melody Maker

Aside from their own successful career they produced the tracks that launched the careers of both Lisa Stansfield and Yazz. They also have their own record label, Ninja Tunes.

NEW RELEASE!

Following on from the hugely successful ’Smokin…’ Tony’s back and this is one sequel that won't disappoint. Tony's built on the success of his first library including all the style and subtlety that made Smokin' such a hit - but adding new scope with the inclusion of triggered drum sounds offering a much wider palette of sounds for you to utilize. This is something special, but don't take our word for it, hear it for yourself.

Tony's first sample library, ...Smokin', was extremely highly rated by many good judges. It offered something not available anywhere else - it had it's own unique sound. Steamin’ confirms Tony's status and builds his reputation further. With credits including Gabrielle, Ronnie Jordan, Al Green, Mary-J Blige, Incognito, Matt Bianco, Fine Young Cannibals, George Michael, and many more you would expect something special, and this library is certainly that.

Review Highlights
"...this is a selection of smokin' laid back grooves. They are mainly variations around the old swingbeat bum ba-bum-bum b bum tss bum type thing, all superbly played and recorded, of course...Some (from tracks 21 onwards) with excellent fills and hits could make superb drum 'n' bass loops if spliced and speeded up, but it's really the swing-back thangs of hip hop, trip hop and hopscotch (er) that benefit from Smokin'...Those after the `real' drum sound will like Smokin'. For the rest, MIDI files of these excellent loops might be in order." - Future Music.

"He's metronomically accurate, but his subtly varied off-the-beat placement is complex, organic, and dead funky...Furthermore, Mason excels at crafting patterns that are hip and detailed without sounding contrived - there are few cliches here...No matter how electronic Mason gets, he never sounds mechanical. The triggered loops tend to feel almost as human as the purely acoustic ones." - Keyboard (USA)

"This CD features the crispest live drums and percussion played by the maestro...The sound of the drums involved are second to none - these are live drums at their best." - Knowledge

"I've been reviewing sample CDs quite a bit recently and although many have had much to recommend them, none has satisfied my own particular personal thirst for a specific kind of sample - until now...Steamin' is over an hour of very pure, very funky drum loops. They have been played with that lived in feel that makes you groove the moment you hear them and you only get from twenty years practicing playing the drums...What can I say, this is the best sample CD I've ever heard, buy it and never run out of breakbeats." - DJ Magazine

"Crammed with superb acoustic and electronic grooves, Steamin' is the perfect antidote to all those percussive problems that seem to arise whenever you're trying to lay down an authentic hip hop groove (not as easy as it sounds) or create the perfect backing for your latest swingbeat, tech-jazz or soul masterpiece. There's a staggering choice of loops (both acoustic and electronic) on offer here - from slow shuffles to meaty funk fills - all beautifully recorded...some of the seemingly effortless syncopations he managed to fit into a single loop are just breathtaking. The sounds themselves are on an equal footing offering a wide variety of kicks (everything from high n' tight to deep n' hollow), snares (buzz and side sticks too), cymbals, toms and hi-hats. There's also a useful selection of snare and hat grooves for those who prefer programming their own kick patterns...The production throughout is exquisite, as it was on its predecessor. This is exactly the kind of material that the sampler was invested for. You'll find yourself locked in the studio just dreaming up new tracks for the opportunity of getting to work with one of these grooves...no matter which style of music you're working on you'll still find this an essential purchase. Steamin' is a brilliantly creative collection. Don't miss it." - The Mix

NEW RELEASE

A huge collection of grungy, inspirational dance samples! The finest FutureFunk collection and extremely popular with Pro users for many years - now available in Apple Loops format for the masses!

Review Highlights
"Raunchy, raw, and rude: Three "R" words that describe the audio material you'll get on the Terminalhead CDs. That's meant as a compliment...you'll find lots to get excited about and inspired by: crunchy drum and guitar loops, oddball sound effects, wicked synth lines, spacy analog synth events, and more...And to assure the audio gets dirty enough, the producers downsampled or sample-converted much of the material so that it's only 8- or even 4-bit. Grunge City!...I really appreciate the variety of drum loops, which range from fairly straight-ahead to absolutely monstrous -- with a decided multitude of the latter...The processing is so thick it's tasteful, and the hooks are infectious. Some of the best feature digitally sliced-and-diced vocals..."AMG has been one of the world's most consistent producers of great loop CDs over the past few years," Greg concluded, "and Terminalhead does not disappoint." - Keyboard (USA), Dec 97.

Contents

Funky Crunch Gate Corner - Created using many sound sources. Sample, fly in and enjoy - they're funky. Try triggering them in different parts of the bar. Also includes many 4 and 8 bit loops. Warning - some of the sounds are REALLY hard.
Synth Riffs/Sounds - Assortment of usable synth lines, sounds and sequences. Once again, created using a cross section of old analogue boxes, some crunchy filters and 4/8 bit processing. Sample the bits you like, shut your eyes and fly 'em in.
Greg's Funky Hard Chops - Hard as nails, but smooth as silk. You're certain to find a chop or rhythmic phrase to suit your track.
Dub FX - Loads of fresh sexy, NEW dub effects to spice up your track. Treat with love, care and respect.
Pascal Benadjaoud Percussion - This time delivering new grooves for terminalhead, using bongos, congas, darbuka, tambourines, triangles, shakers and vocals. Pascal gets phased, phreaked and dubbed out.
Shortwave Strangeness - Best reapings from many a cold, dark night in front of the trusty old tranny.
Misc. Unusualness - An odd assortment of those hard to categorise sounds.

If you want a grungy collection of dance samples that drips with attitude then look no further. 

Review Highlights “All in all, Dirtbag is definitely a good experience. Simeon’s signature sounds are present everywhere on this CD which are a definite formula to success. The greasy fretless bass lines are GORGEOUS and the clean, nicely tendered mastering has left me drooling for the type of studio he has.” - Reasonfreaks

Another Lukecage production, staying true to Hip Hop traditions, fresh from LA's Latin Gangsta 'Hood!

Review Highlights
For another Lukecage production, UltraMagnetic Beats - MacUser UK, Nov 2003 - 5 Stars
Pros - Authentic hip-hop drum loops + Cool bass samples + Good melodies
Cons - None

"It's not all about hip-hop, either: this might have been the inspiration for the overall vibe of the CD, but these loops sound pretty fabulous wherever you use them.

All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes."

"The loops sound great, right in the pocket of sounding street and fahnky... these are hip due to Lukecage's production skills and ear, as well as the quality control that AMG is becoming known for... I think AMG is trying something else this time and it works: it refreshing!... Some of the melodic pieces are really inspiring...very lovely and very, very useful...These are very musical loops with a warm feel...this refill is done just as good as it can get. Cool!...a lot of great sounding material and inspiration. AMG has another winner...this Refill is a cool funky booty Refill! Another winner for AMG!" - raapie.nl

"This CD was a pleasure to use, with allot of variations to play around with. It seems that the underlying theme of the CD was the ability to diversify ones sound, which isn’t the case in many of the hip-hop themed rex cd’s out there now... the concept and sounds that support this CD are stunning... a great addition to a producer’s collection." - ReasonFreaks.com

Contents
A jaw-dropping collection of 42 loops typically including drums, bass, melody and any other elements in isolation too so you can easily remix everything to perfectly suit your application. This is a CD that must be heard, it's something very special.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
2Step Ahead - MacUser UK, Nov 2003 - 4 Stars
Pros - Interesting collection of electronic loops
Cons - Slightly expensive + You may be put off by the title

"Not really knowing what to expect from 2Step Ahead, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a selection of imaginative electronic loops. Comprising 13 Groove Kits split into numerous Beats, Hi-Hat and Kick Snare Loops, plus Synth Bass options, there's plenty of robotic rhythmic content here.

Set against a clutch of groovy clavinet, electric piano and organ riffs, as well as dozens of weird processed loops with a very twitchy edge, and you've got all the makings of a thoroughly modern club classic.

All three CDs are solid collections of professional-sounding loops collected by genre, although mixing and matching loops across genres is a rewarding exercise. The quality of the samples is excellent, and which one you go for depends on your tastes." 

The long-awaited sequel from Neil Conti to his legendary 'Funky drums from Hell'. Brian Eno contributes special mixes to ensure you won't be disappointed!

Great drumming, edgy production and an obsessive pursuit of the ultimate groove ensure this is another classic, truly a work of art. 

Neil Conti is one of the UK's leading drummers and, as well as being an integral member of Prefab Sprout over the years, has also worked with David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Annie Lennox, Deep Forest, Youssou N'Dour, Thomas Dolby, Primal Scream, Level 42, Cher, Steve Winwood and many more. Brian Eno is widely acknowledged as one of the finest producers alive today.

Long live mixes and jams (with key loops sliced out in appropriate formats) as well as shorter loops categorized as Extreme, Resonant and Dry. Hundreds of loops in total. Stylistically very human, creative and warm. This collection was recorded over many years and carefully processed through the finest available analogue processing by Brian Eno and Daniel Lazerus - as you would expect you can almost hear these drums sing! 

REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
"Man this sounds fat! Noise free, but warm and fat...Brilliant recorded stuff period!...the sound quality is 100% fat! It's mixed so nicely and it really grooves...very hip sounding...I find these loops very, very useful... it's definitely an 'alone on a island' pick!" - Raapie.nl

"This collection of samples from the ex-Prefab Sprout sticks man is the most expensive of those on test here, but it's not difficult to see why. Conti's previous sample CDs have been largely down-tempo affairs, but on Dark Side he ups the pace and aggression somewhat to produce a drum loop collection of great originality and depth.

Beats vary from hip-hop grooves to drum and bass workouts via several industrial excursions. Conti has also thrown in several longer jams that organically build and change over several bars. On top of this, Brian Eno has lent a hand by bastardising several of the loops in his own personal style.

This sample library is limited purely to drum loops, so it's not one for those who are after a construction kit-type CD, but it's an excellent choice for musicians looking for some fresh and original drumbeats to lift their compositions. 4 Mice." - MacUser

This amazing drum loop library features the burgeoning talent of Wayne Proctor performing a wide range of live loops and fills in a number of styles and sounds. Fat Sounding Beats, 70s Style Funk, Classic Studio, Big Ambient and Ambient and Dry Rock sections are all included along with a special selection of fills. In all a huge collection of over 1000 Apple Loops!

More info on the Producer
Wayne is fast earning a reputation as one of the most exciting young drummers in the UK. This CD was produced in conjunction with Robin and Jesse Davey of Credible Records who regularly utilise Wayne's talents.

Review Highlights
"Who is this drummer?" was my first question as I listened, mouth wide open, to the loops on King Tone Grooves. Talk about five-star stellar drumming...” - Key Buy - Keyboard

Xclusive Sounds were released over 5 years ago and available to a very select few at a premium price. Now the embargo has expired they are available for the first time to a wider audience at a more affordable price. A unique opportunity to get a piece of history at an affordable price for the first time.

This second volume features just 44 distinct beats in Apple Loops format. It’s a small collection and only has a small price tag too but includes some great and very exclusive beats available to only very few.

Check out the audio demo and demo downloads featuring a small selection of the samples featured.

NEW RELEASE!

This vast collection is forward-thinking, hard-hitting and radically stylish. Hundreds of punchy, rhythmic grooves across all tempos and crossing all cultural boundaries sit with masses of divinely spiritual ambiences from the sacred to the profane. Useful for virtually all styles of music as vital extra ingredients or simply perfect for inspirational new directions this expressive, dramatically visionary production is ideally suited for those who want something new and different with an extremely professional edge. If you don't like the normal boring rubbish, don't go crazy, get 'Completely Bonkers'.

Contents
An inspiring and hugely creative library featuring drum loops ranging from 75 bpm right up to 150 bpm.

Review Highlights
"There's everything from lush angelic choirs to creepy backgrounds — I was immediately tempted to fire up my sampler and start composing a score for an imaginary film... when I listened to the samples I was, in the main, impressed. I think this sample collection would be a useful addition to your sample library if you like your samples slightly off-the-wall, and it might just spark off some creative ideas or provide that extra piece of ambience needed to add depth to the track you're working on. 4 stars." - Sound On Sound

More info on the Producer
Cuckooland are already known as the producer of Unhinged, Ghost in the Machine and Asylum for another developer. The success of these titles have warranted promotion to the AMG stable where it is a welcome and respected addition.

Junebug delivers you hundreds of fresh, infectious dance beats in the amazing Apple Loops format for the first time! The cream of Stateside programmed/live fusion dance loops.

AMG are proud to present 384 brand new Apple Loops from Lukecage! These are exclusively available here and unlike his normal 'song kit' format these are just drum loops, no bass lines, melodies, etc. A wide range of styles and tempos are covered all featuring the same Lukecage quality.

73 exclusive Apple Loops from Lukecage. 10 'songs' are included each with different elements in isolation - you you get full mixes, bass lines, drum loops, melodies and variations as applicable of each. Primarily designed for hip hop but usable in a much wider range of genres. A 'must have' for Lukecage fans.

Hacked Sticks is a collection of 135 Hip Hop drum loops with a vintage flavour. The loops are all based around live performances, carefully edited, processed and occasionally layered with thumps and bumps from some classic analogue beat boxes in order to retain a live sound and feel while ensuring rock solid timing and punch.

Drawing influence from the classic drum sounds of 70's funk and filtering it through modern production values, Hacked Sticks is an invaluable addition to any samplist's collection.

Another huge collection of grungy, inspirational dance samples! The finest FutureFunk collection and extremely popular with Pro users for many years. Recorded at the same sessions as the first volume so although the contents are completely different the style of the content is pretty much identical.

Review Highlights - for volume 1
"Raunchy, raw, and rude: Three "R" words that describe the audio material you'll get on the Terminalhead CDs. That's meant as a compliment...you'll find lots to get excited about and inspired by: crunchy drum and guitar loops, oddball sound effects, wicked synth lines, spacy analog synth events, and more...And to assure the audio gets dirty enough, the producers downsampled or sample-converted much of the material so that it's only 8- or even 4-bit. Grunge City!...I really appreciate the variety of drum loops, which range from fairly straight-ahead to absolutely monstrous -- with a decided multitude of the latter...The processing is so thick it's tasteful, and the hooks are infectious. Some of the best feature digitally sliced-and-diced vocals..."AMG has been one of the world's most consistent producers of great loop CDs over the past few years," Greg concluded, "and Terminalhead does not disappoint." - Keyboard (USA)

Contents
All highly processed and grunged up big time including some 4-bit processing. All specially recorded, distorted, filtered and phat. Including:

Pete's Drum Loops & Chops - Assorted drum loops. Distorted, filtered and phat. Watch them bass bins flap.
Pete's Lo-Fi Drum Loops and Chops - Drums and drum effects utilising 8 and 4 bit lo-fi cruch technology. Sizeable and hard.
Funky Crunch Gate Corner - Created using many sound sources. Sample, fly in and enjoy - they're funky. Try triggering them in different parts of the bar. Also includes many 4 and 8 bit loops. Warning - some of the sounds are REALLY hard.
Synth Riffs/Sounds - Assortment of usable synth lines, sounds and sequences. Once again, created using a cross section of old analogue boxes, some crunchy filters and 4/8 bit processing. Sample the bits you like, shut your eyes and fly 'em in.
Greg's Funky Hard Chops - Hard as nails, but smooth as silk. You're certain to find a chop or rhythmic phrase to suit your track.
Dub FX - Loads of fresh sexy, NEW dub effects to spice up your track. Treat with love, care and respect.
Pascal Benadjaoud Percussion - This time delivering new grooves for terminalhead, using bongos, congas, darbuka, tambourines, triangles, shakers and vocals. Pascal gets phased, phreaked and dubbed out.
Shortwave Strangeness - Best reapings from many a cold, dark night in front of the trusty old tranny.
Misc. Unusualness - An odd assortment of those hard to categorise sounds.
Greg's Trippy Oddness - An unusual collection of very usuable processed guitar.
