Discognosis is a rare and obscure production by two of the greatest disco producers: Rinder & Lewis.
This was an experimental project where the sound isn't well definited. The opening track is psychedelic disco with a horror theme. "Poison Ivy" is more pop, whereas "One On One" brushes up soundtrack sounds. "Good Time Man" and "Love Shortage" are good tracks which could be exploited better. "Step By Step" is the big one: wonderful disco track with repetitive vocals, piano and hypnotic arrangements. The only defect is its shortness: i've always wondered whether the 12" exists!!

Yes, there is a remix of STEP BY STEP and it can be found on the AVI compilation HOT DISCO NIGHT VOL II along with a remix of other rinder and lewis songs, one of them called COCOMOTION 79.
STEP BY STEP is a great song indeed.
