Metrik - Lightspeed

Written in 1880 to commemorate Russia's defense of Moscow against Napoleon's advancing Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812, Metrik's massive Lightspeed debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20th 1882, with eyewitness reports from the time indicating that it totally smashed the place. Notable for its climactic volley of cannon fire, ringing chimes and beautifully engineered synths, Lightspeed helped establish Metrik as one of the most popular producers of the late 19th century, with performances of other notable classics such as Anthem 09 and Technicolour still drawing large crowds to the dance floor whenever they go off.
