In anticipation of the 35th anniversary next year one of electronic music´s most influential recordings, the legendary E2-E4, from 12.12.1981 does get an official rerelease by Manuel Göttsching on his own Label MG.ART.

Carefully overseen by the Master himself

"E2-E4" is a seminal album by Manuel Göttsching, released in 1984. The title of the album refers to the most common opening move in chess, and the music itself is often considered a landmark in the electronic music genre, particularly in the realm of ambient and techno.

The album is essentially one continuous track, running over an hour in length. It features Göttsching's skillful use of the guitar and synthesizers, creating a hypnotic and immersive sonic experience. "E2-E4" is often cited as a precursor to the techno and trance genres and has influenced numerous electronic musicians.

The repetitive and trance-inducing nature of the music makes it suitable for various contexts, including both active listening and background ambiance. Many consider "E2-E4" a timeless classic, and its influence can be heard in a wide range of electronic music that followed its release.
