They don't have to have heard it. It's kind of like calculus being independently invented by Liebniz and Newton.

By the way, Bayou Country (on which "Chooglin" appears) reached #33 on the German charts, so it's pretty likely that the Kraut guys did hear it.

chooglin' has a bluesy shuffle to it that is absent from the motorik beat. it still sounds krauty though

honestly there are a million sources for the motorik thing--it's really high-modernist minimalism coupled with rock instrumentation coupled with late-60s tendency for rock bands to jam out. so you are all correct.

i mean, i haven't really listened to them, but aren't Endless Boogie supposed to sorta be an updated take on canned heat/creedence boogie mixed with kraut motorik/minimalism?

the little i've heard i'd say yeah

"Keep on Chooglin" sounds more like motorik to me than anything I've heard by VU.
"The Gift" is pretty motorik, if you ask me.

Motorik seems to have so infused music in this decade, I gotta wonder if the next decade will produce a Nickleback of motorik.

Well you just got me to listen to a band I'd been ignoring. Can't wait for the North American derivative. I'm thinking the singer should sport a rat tail.
― bendy, Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I've been ignoring them as well but I have heard it said they have Krautrock influences - maybe via Primal Scream, rather than directly. Personally I think Primal Scream aren't far off being the Nickelback of Motorik but people seem to take them seriously, for some reason.

primal scream are the pearl jam of motorik
