The story with Sueno Latino was that they wanted to release it as a straight-up remix of E2-E4, and had Goettsching's full consent. However, his label didn't like the idea and prevented them from using the name E2-E4, which is what led to the track being titled Sueno Latino. Derrick May turned out a very nice remix of it.
The reason this remix had to be made is because the time signature on the original is actually a bit strange, making it very very tricky to actually beatmix with other 4/4 records! And while E2-E4 isn't often cited as a particularly influential work for early Detroit techno, I don't think you can deny that it was extremely seminal for people like Maurizio and people like that - in fact Goettsching ended up collaborating with Maurizio on "Schizophrenia", did he not?
