Vainqueur – Lyot

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.

This track along with Basic Channel’s Octagon were on a mix tape set I had in the late 90’s. Wish I could remember, 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 encompassing 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.

OMG the b side version (Maurizio Mix) is a bomb!. Top club track!

An absolute masterpiece from Maurizio, the original track is pretty average tho

picked it up at Frankie Bones store Groove records
avenue U
Brooklyn NY
awesome navamute album

Music to level mountains with....

A statement of intent from Maurizio. Absolute faultless production. Set the standard.
