Krautrock/Motorick?GermanRock

i need suggestions, please.

i know can, neu!, faust... all the heavy hitters from germany from the 70s. but if anyone has any suggestions for legit contemporary or obscure bands that invariably employ motorick rhythms and minimalist aesthetics, i'd really appreciate it. preferably bands that are less electronic-driven and/or house/dance-influenced (lcd soundsystem), and more based on traditional (use that term very loosely) rock 'n' roll.

thanks.

think we're going to see thievery corporation/federico aubele/gilberto gil and friends at the hollywood bowl this sunday. if anyone else is going and wants to get in on our picnic/boozefest, let me know!

Presumably not what you search for. I wonder if the sound you describe exists at all. Very early obscure recordings from DAF sounded the way you describe it, but that was in the late seventies or so.

outside of related project to can/faust/neu, you don't hear the motorik thing that much in a lot of other german rock of the period (kraftwerk excepted) -- if you wanna stick with krautrock, look at the bands like brainticket or agitation free or silberbart -- good german progressive rock with arty flourishes and unstable bursts of heaviness.
