Another break that is beyond ubiquitous is in the song "Apache" by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band. In the broadest sense the wide use of such ubiquitous breaks is paying homage to the creators. I mean, new audiences hear the breaks and the breaks continue to perpetuate themselves. A musician could always try to recreate and build on the sound of "Amen" or "Apache", but many feel that the original record contains elements of perfection. Passing on that original perfection is a way to express your respect for the creator. The search for the perfect beat will always continue, but sometimes the way forward is to look back.
