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

Sugarloaf - Green Eyed Lady gets pretty motoriky at points

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.

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 (fifteen years ago)
I would really kill to hear a motorik version of "Cherub Rock" actually
― dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 03:20 (fifteen years ago)
well not really or actually.
"Helen of Troy" by Telefon Tel Aviv is chuggin' motorik city, totally.
― Trayce, Monday, 6 September 2010 03:29 (fifteen years ago)
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?

A locked-groove record on which a motorik jam (or any jam, really, though motorik might be ideal) plays on forever and ever ... does such a thing exist? Can such a thing exist? I'm no vinyl expert.

One of NEU! explained the history of the invention of the motorik beat as him having thought about football at the time. I'm not completely remembering the quote but it's from a Wire interview about 10 years ago. If it was about passing a ball across the grid of the football field I could see how it might fit with the above matrix I think. But I could be reading that wrong.
― Stevolende, Monday, 11 June 2012 07:44 (fourteen years ago)
i see tomorrow never knows as one of the early examples of the motorik groove. pretty sure klaus dinger got some clues from that beat.

If the pattern listed above, or on Wikipedia, is the Motorik beat, I think a lot of us are foggy on the definition (myself included) and are including songs that are just tonic or repetitive.
― 3×5, Monday, 11 June 2012 19:02 (fourteen years ago)
ha, never thought of this, but yes
Ippu-Do did an entire album full of motorik beats, called Normal; the whole thing was a tribute to Neu!
Working For a Nuclear Free City - lots of tracks, particularly "Forever" which also sounds like a tribute
― frogbs, Monday, 11 June 2012 19:03 (fourteen years ago)
The end of "Bad Vibrations" by the Black Angels shifts into this really nice motorik (ish?) beat that sends the song screaming away on some driving-sequence-from-Solaris trip.
