Vainqueur – Lyot

You have to start at the end!
Very Funny!
The runout groove is the start.

Still to this day Lyot (maurizio mix) is one of the best techno tracks ever created.

This is best played in small basement clubs with limited lighting. Cave techno.

Some record this. Maurizio mix + blunt + coffee = ecstasy tablet like effects.

Interesting that they were still using the NSC cut in 2014 (unlike most/all of the other 12s).

This track along with Basic Channel’s Octagon were on a mix tape set I had in the late 90’s. Wish I could , it was homemade promo cassette a bit all over the place, a skilled DJ for sure. Perhaps Algorithm or Jeff Milligan being I’m in Canada. It also had Holy Dance and Latin Seoul by DJ Sneak… anyways this stood out along with their Solanus release as both out of the pack for style of both Maurizio (symbiotic of ([]) and Basic Channel and also my two favourites past the M and C series. The blueprint for so much and near all encoming for the sound that is techno at it’s core structure and branching paths undulating music of and for the mind, body, dance and even soul. Machine songs for learning and processing. Who knew? Approaching divinity or just settling on greatness as is essential no less as is seems the shared consensus. DAT’s a pitch point straight up for Diplomacy and FTW www. win we will.

sounded great frying high on acid when Woody McBride played it a very long time ago in a set, such a brilliant record

if there was anything like a "classic" techno track it would be this one.
apart from everything's said before I'd say it's
the best use of a gated reverb on a kick drum Ive ever heard.

have to agree with most, the maurizio mix steals the record, but Rene did not give up at all and soon after he has developed a unique sound of his own.

true winners*, both of'em.

I still use the old american pressing and the record sounds perfectly clean without any glitches towards the end.

I can confirm that you are right. There is indeed a small sound glitch when it falls back in the lead sound towards the end of the track. however it is a sound glich and it does not skip the record or interrupt the flow of the track. The glitch occurs 16 bars before falling into the last break.

Wonder is this glitch is also in the original pressing, otherwise this release is also remastered hence "the glitch".

Techno it is :=) however this track is almost sounding like a Basic Channel release so it is more a Progressive track IMHO
