This 1986 release is by X-Ray, an early project by Derrick May, one of the most important figures in Detroit techno. It is one of the quintessential early Transmat releases, featuring proto-Detroit techno where raw drum machines, hard-hitting electro-derived rhythms, and futuristic synths intertwine. "Let's Go" is a historically significant track that captures the moment Detroit techno was formed from Chicago house and electro. This classic allows listeners to hear the prototype of May's aesthetic that would lead to Rhythim Is Rhythim.
