I am amazed that Gett Off hasn't been given it's proper respects. That beat is slammin'

Yeah, Make-Up is definately a very good beat. I also like 777-9311, When Doves Cry, Nasty Girl, and If I Was Your Girlfriend.

yes! yes! YES!

this is a beat that stayed in my head for a long time.
would find myself grooving to it at the oddest times.

same thing happened to a lesser extent with Housequake and
LCD, but to this day, whenever i'm hand-drumming a beat it
always seems to be the opening to New Position.

For me, his best beats come along when he is sort of staying with a pattern, but adding his own creativity into it. Of course, anytime he squats on a groove, it gets funkier as it goes along. Here are some of my favorites:

Jack U Off
All the Critics Love U In New York
Irresistable Bitch
Let's Pretend We're Married
Computer Blue
Tamborine
New Position
Life Can Be So Nice
Housequake
Strange Relationship
Dance On
Lemon Crush
Release It (done by the Time on G. Bridge)
Tick Tick Bang
Loose
Race
P Control
319
Billy Jack Bitch
Hide the Bone
Crystal Ball
Calhoun Square
Poom Poom
Undisputed
Prettyman
Silicon
Rebirth Of the Flesh
1+1+1=3
The Everlasting Now
East
Life Of the Party
If I Was the Man In Your Life

WOULDN'T THIS MAKE A FUNKY COLLECTION?

If I chose one song right now, it would be All Day, All Night, you'd have to hear it to know how damn funky it is. I'd also choose YES which was probably meant to be a Madhouse song, it's instrumental with some tough ass break downs where the chorus would be, like living with Eric Leeds & Atlanta Bliss in your pocket.

This very day and forever I will never fal out of love with the breakdown that ends Mountains, forty seconds of true heaven! :nods:

i´m not sure if prince did the beat,but it sounds definitively like P: The Dance Electric

other great beats:
"Annie Christian"- prototype of drum´nbass grooves (?)
"Hot Thing"- hypnotic beat,
"Sign O The Times"- funky clock
"Forever In My Life"- its simple but can be looped forever!
