As the story is sometimes told, Göttsching stopped in the studio for a couple of hours in 1981 and invented techno. E2-E4 is the most compelling argument that techno came from Germany - more so than any single Kraftwerk album, anyway. The former Ash Ra Tempel leader is credited with "guitar and electronics", but few could stretch that meager toolkit like Göttsching. Over a heavenly two-chord synth vamp and simple sequenced drum and bass, Göttsching played his guitar like a percussion instrument, creating music that defines the word "hypnotic." This is a key piece in the electronic music puzzle that's been name-checked, reworked and expanded upon countless times.
