The Glitter Band is the closest I've ever heard, so much so that I'm pretty sure La Dusseldorf ripped them off

I can't remember which song it is, but one of the tracks offa Glenn Branca's Ascension certainly counts. It might be "Lesson #2."

Lesson #1 counts

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:44 (6 years ago) Permalink

Lesson #2 sounds like shit Sonic Youth

that fantastic instrumental track on die sterne's 'posen' album, the name of which i've forgotten right now.

oh here it is, it's Glenn Branca's "Light Field (In Consonance)" off of Ascension.

Yeah, the Lesson #2 sounds like shit.

Schneider TM opens his new album with a motorik diddy called "More Time" (also released as a single last year).

also, "Now We Know" and esp. "Ridin'" from Pharoah Overlord's IV must be heard.

I would like to point out that the original reason I posted this question was that I was making a mix CDR700MBGO! for my wife to listen to as she gave birth. (Apparently the kid liked it; he came right out to hear better.)

also The Clean's "Point That Thing Somewhere Else" is an excellent example (sort of a bastard son of Hallogallo and Oh Yeah)

This is kinda my intention, too. Douglas, if you're still around, do you have the tracklisting for that CDR?

Sugarloaf - Green Eyed Lady gets pretty motoriky at points

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 01:07 (2 years ago) Permalink

I had a revelation with Green Eyed Lady while listening to it pumped over speakers at a gas station- take away the singing and it's really avant for the time.

Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Monday, 6 September 2010 02:06 (2 years ago) Permalink

think blount just misunderstood what the motorik beat is. the opening guitars of "cherub rock" sound kinda like neu! guitar chuggin

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 03:18 (2 years ago) Permalink

I would really kill to hear a motorik version of "Cherub Rock" actually

well not really or actually.

"Helen of Troy" by Telefon Tel Aviv is chuggin' motorik city, totally.

Trayce, Monday, 6 September 2010 03:29 (2 years ago) Permalink

thread reminds me that i meant to ask about this sfj squib from last month where he describes the motorik beat as having "constant sixteenth notes on the kick drum." i hate to quibble with a music writer who's also a musician, but surely he means 8th notes?
