I never heard about Gesaffelstein before. (The Name sounds German/Austrian ) But I like this song much more as "Glory" .

I have edited your post. But I am sure we all will know what you mean. I don't like would have suffice, imho. Maybe, there will something else you will like...

[synthmann]

this is kinda cool! definitely hear Jarre in there, phased strings, heavy drums which are vaguely reminiscent of Revolution, Revolutions with the heavy drums.

I like this the more I hear it, now look forward to the rest of the track and especially the one with Armin!

[simesky]

Oh yeah, Conquistador is definetely more Jarresque. I like the dark vibe, it reminds me of this extract from the Depeche Mode album (Construction Time Again) :

Conquering China - Glory - Conquistator

...and as I've looked on Gesaffelstein's youtube channel..."Hate Or Glory" (2013)!

Like a red line of coincidences the ingenuity is amazing.
I'm (not) conspiratorial.

Amen to that.

That's good news! *sarcasm*

But... Where can I hear the actual song though?

Oh, you can buy the single release on BeatPro for 6.51 €.

Scratch that, it's 8.50 € (for me) when it adds bleedin' tax on top of it.

Oh wait, it's now 10.75 €* when I choose WAV as the format since, y'know, lossless.

Yeah, I don't think so, chief.

It's a good track, though, now that I've listened to the samples a few hundred times. But still.

* = And yes, I was the one prepared to pay 500 € for the original Kraftwerk red vinyl edition of Die Mensch Maschine. Sure, it's rare, but still...
