Edited one year agoI always liked to think "Phylyps" was an artist alias and "Trak" the, erm, track, like Cyrus - Enforcement, but of course it isn't, it's like an essence of techno (or essence of Basic Channel) that shifts shapes into Base, Rmx, Trak II/I & II. I have said elsewhere, I must have listened to it 100s of times - once even on a visit to Hardwax in the mid-2000s. Once the 8 or 9 minutes were through I played it again. Most people would wonder why anyone would want to listen to that racket in the first place, meanwhile I was having a moment bordering on the religious.

Phylyps Trak is without a doubt, a classic. It's a favourite in the techno community as well as myself. -

An absolute masterpiece that will always be relevant. For me, Trak is in the conversation for the top 10 techno tunes ever produced.

My good friend easygroove played it back when it was first released
Unbelievable
Respect the techno -
Edited 4 years agoI think, "Trak" is one of the blueprints of techno and one of the best tracks ever made. It has always had a feeling to me that it was born out of one live moment. You can dance to it or just listen and enjoy how great the multiple, strange sounding sequences twirling into another. And even while the sequences sound totally strange and almost alien-like, they have a real deep warmth. And there is another point making it outstanding: Although one could think that techno needs a hard beat to be techno the bassdrums are mixed in the background, only slightly shimmering through in the breaks. An absolutely timeless masterpiece.
