Motorik

Neu! formed after Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger left Kraftwerk in 1971, citing a lack of vision. Despite Kraftwerk being the greater household name, Neu! can be cited as a large influence on a variety of bands, from David Bowie to Sonic Youth, from Wire to Radiohead. Some would say they even influenced Kraftwerk to modify their own sound with 1974's "Autobahn" incorporating the motorik sound.

Neu! often gets cited for "inventing" motorik beat. If they didn't invent it, they definitely popularized it, and many bands use it as homage to their Krautrock forebears. Here are some songs I like in the motorik style.
