Influence
It has been named as one of the best '80s albums for its important role on the development of late '80s and early '90s house music and techno genres. Sueño Latino sampled E2-E4 on their 1989 song, "Sueño Latino".
LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" recording from 2006 was inspired conceptually by E2-E4 as indicated by the accompanying artwork and the lengthy duration of the piece.
