		At least one third of their recorded output is in the motorik form.
		Their homonymous first album sold very little by our standards today (though 30,000 records was a lot for a band of their musical nature), yet is today considered a masterpiece by many, including influential artists such as Thom Yorke of Radiohead and David Bowie.
		Side Two was the invention of punk rock, with Dinger's sneering, unintelligible vocals searing across a distorted Motorik beat with aggressive single chord guitar poundings.

		'Motorik' is more dynamical in the sense of loud and soft and has a strong build-up that makes the song very intense.
		Motorik is an instrumental song with more eye for stillness, but also with the needed sound-explosions.
		The tension decreases throughout the second two-thirds of the EP, which comprises "Motorik," a mid-tempo instrumental driven by a pulsating bassline, and "Push," and uncharacteristically poppy bittersweet breakup ballad that the band nonetheless injects with a bit of its own anti-pop identity.

	Motorik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motorik is a division of Krautrock pioneered by Neu and made famous by the track Autobahn by Kraftwerk.
		Motorik is characterised by hypnotic rhythms that undergo little or no change throughout sometimes ten or more minutes of music, and droning basslines that back up simple riffs.
		The whole effect conjures up long distance driving, hence the name.

		Motorik Music is a term used to encompass propulsive German pop, everything from the chugging '70s kraut rock of Neu!
		Though its name may imply a similarly mechanical repetition, the British trio Appliance attempts to caress the motor with a sheen of emotive psychedelia.
		The band has fully converted motorik's relentless forward-motion arrangements into a kinetic swirl enhanced by electronic bleeps and rhythms as well as Brooks' fearlessly poppy guitar riffs.

	SPIN.com: Morr Music at the Mercury Lounge
		Judging by the digital nuggets that Lali Puna meticulously sculpt on their albums, this German electronic-pop quartet comes off as more a hip art project than an actual band--they project such absolute control, it seems they couldn't possibly rock out on stage like a real band.
		Diminutive singer Valerie Trebeljahr tapped out minimalist lines on her keyboard, bassist Markus Acher and headphone-clad drummer Christoph Brandner laid down grooves by turns straightforward and polyrhythmic, and Florian Zimmer turned over a bed of synthetic gulps, twitches and beats that propelled the whole kit and caboodle into the 21st Century.
		The obvious comparison here is Stereolab (and, to a lesser degree Mouse on Mars, their partners in the digital hiccup-cum-drone rock circus).

		The extended "E-Musik" in between is another classic 'motorik' ride that begs to be spun endlessly on the highway, coasting from layers of driving synths and guitars to oddly filtered drums and back again.
		It starts out with a classic "motorik" groove number, then a more static melodic piece, then closes (what was originally, back in the LP day) the side with a faintly punk-ish, energetic but grooving number.
		The rest of the CD follows a similar pattern: moving from groovier rhythm pieces with subtle washes of guitar and synth patterns, to the final track, which ups the energy level again in a way almost antipatory of punk.

	KID SHIRT: YOUR CAPTAIN IS DEAD
		Kraftwerk finally got behind the wheel in '72 with pieces that would form the template for "Autobahn", like the sublime, gently-pulsating "Klingklang", but their preferred mode of transport sounded like a 25cc scooter (or a bicycle!) in comparison to the formation of tooled-up Harleys driven by Brock and the boys.
		Well, probably not, but it's a fun idea to run with...you could almost argue a case for Status Quo too, given that motorik's roots (routes?) lay (as MES well knows) in the locked 12-bar guitar-loops of Bo Didley, Chuck Berry and speed-frazzled Nashville Truckstop favourites.
		I'm not sure we'll ever know for sure, but I'm betting that as long as there were drums, and the notion of motion, and mass migrations, and dreams of travel and escape, then the idea of motorik was never far away...

		The similarities appear early on, with the Stereolab-eqsue motorik and French vocals that drive "Gone Under Sea," the wobbly-yet-charming singing on "Birds" that recalls Pram's Rosie Cuckston, and the intricate interplay of guitars and keyboards on every track that bring to mind th' Faith Healers (and their later incarnation, Quickspace).

		They were all business; they’d have no truck with his silliness, but in the most interesting fashion possible.
		Kraftwerk discussed the centrality and importance of motorik as though they were Bavarian automobile industry executives.
		And by inverting the possibility of authorship they actually hoped that the music would become its own entity, not simply a reification of the technique that is motorik, but the re-creation of the audience and the sophistication of the listener to hear the melodies hidden in our environment.

		And if not quite the kind of band you’ll hear on popular radio, they have always been darlings of the media, and most of their albums have been released on major labels.
		The first disk tends to focus on Stereolab’s slightly more pop-oriented tunes, proving that Tim Gane, Laetitia Sadier, and the other members of the band are wizards at both the art of experimentalism and the craft of creating the catchiest of hooks.
		They have the ability to take those basic, minimalist motorik beats, and add touches and nuances to them to create almost any kind of song you can imagine, from the opening pounding rocker, Super Electric to the trippy, sunshine pop of Doubt and Laissez Faire.

		While their imperious ex-bandmates tinkled along, Neu!'s self-titled debut roared like a clean engine through a thunderstorm – sleek, swift, and aerodynamic.
		Five-and-a-half minutes into "Kmara," the whole thing comes together, and a drum monsoon explodes, thundering with the power and speed of a taiko ensemble.
		Rovo calls their music "man-driven trance." Their brand of motorik is bullet train-charged.

		John Petkovic is now the singer/guitarist of Cobra Verde, who are putting out an album of covers and another of original songs this year; he also reports that he may be reissuing the DoS stuff shortly.
		Unrelatedly: I've been seeking out anything with the motorik beat for the last few days, for a code-blue-secrecy project.
		The beat most associated with the early-'70s German band Neu!--in the link above, a couple of people define it neatly as hi-hat eighth notes, snares on 2 and 4, bass drum on all other eighth notes.

	WMPG - Greater Portland Community Radio
		The first album's first cut, "Hallogallo," embodies the central characteristic of their sound, often called motorik.
		It is a mesmerizing 10:07 track without vocals built upon crisp, quick, su per-straight drumming locked in with a two-note bass line and various phased and otherwise distorted guitars.
		The debut is a true album, a complete work featuring motorik, a pair of slow, moody songs, one stately ("Weisensee") and one both mournful and insane ("Lieber Honig"), as well as a handful of compositions built around industrial n oise, water soundscapes, tape tricks, and lock-groove rhythms.

		The band’s complete lyrics could, perhaps, fill one side of an index card.
		Drummer Klaus Dinger pioneered the " motorik " beat: a crisp bam-bam-bam-bam, barely accented, no more varied than the turning over of a car’s motor.
		Guitarist Michael Rother is rock’s king of the one-chord jam — not the snowballing rave-ups of, say, the Yardbirds, but a single tone or cluster explored in expanding timbral ripples.

		This is angst, and the result sounds like a duo realizing they might have different ideas about music.
		While "E-Musik" is a return to Neu!'s familiar motorik formula, the album's final track, "After Eight," is another angst-ridden rocker.
		The album is split by moments of serenity and spurts of anger.

		There is, as any productivity conscious factory foreman will tell you, a certain comfort in repetition; a curious relief to be eked from the ashen monotony of the everyday.
		And here, on Quickspace's third album, it seems Tom Cullinan's Krautrock disciples have hit upon a motorik El Dorado - a place where tedium is transcended by zealous determination, and glacial repetition becomes a thing of hushed and haunted beauty.
		For although Krautrock is clearly Cullinan's bread and butter, 'The Death...''s real sustenance lies in the Londoners' hearty embrace of garage rock's joie de vivre - a refreshingly raw cogency that energises each of their motorik rambles.

		'Cluster II' has its merits, but can't be considered Motorik in any way, while the first Cluster album is more akin to the noise a photocopier makes when you switch it on than music of any sort.

		'75 is the third and most essential record from Krautrock wunderkinds Neu!--a two-man experimental force that pioneered the rapid, repetitive drum-beat known as motorik, and mapped out the future of music for groups like Sonic Youth, Stereolab, and Spacemen 3.

		Neu!75's spacey, hypnotic sounds with the trademark 'motorik' drumbeat is simply irrestible.

		For those of you not already Neu!-savvy, these are the guys responsible (along with Kraftwerk, with whom guitarist Rother and drummer Dinger once played -- that's how they met, before splitting to form Neu!) for the "motorik" beat, the propulsive, autobahn-friendly, proto-punk electronics hybrid that has influenced countless bands.
