AN AMAZING JOURNEY
This is by far the most incredibly different album I have listened to so far this year. Motorik take you on an amazing journey through sound. The melodies are brilliant and fast paced with unexpected twists like a winding road.

The beats are so awesome and just match perfectly the synths. This is a audio feast for your ears and they will thank you for it.

I can imagine driving the Autobahn with this on a being oblivious to the speed you are driving at. It really is a masterpiece of creativity.

An absolutely intense experience as this trust me is an experience.

INTENSE

With their latest album, "3", Belgian Krautrockers Motor!k are adding a new chapter to their discography. While the key elements from their previous albums "Motor!k" and "2" (hypnotic basslines, pounding drums, and repetitive guitar lines) are also presented here, this album is now slightly different from its predecessors.

The opening track "Stunden" starts off with a minimal techno-like groove and builds up towards a noisy, almost apocalyptic finale. "Socrates" is vintage Motor!k, played with such an emergency, this track screams to be heard live in a sweaty concert environment.

"Hourglass" begins as an ambient-like guitar and electronics track and evolves into a blasting repetitive track full of distorted guitars. "Unisono" is a melancholic track with a "post-rock" feel, with subtle electronics and dreamy guitars. "Zug" is a rather electronic track with lots of psychedelic guitars and synths. "Reflections" pays tribute to the late '70s. Lots of delay guitars and spacey electronics building up to new horizons. 
 
Belgium's guitarist/synthesist Joeri Dobbeleir, also the song composer in Motor!k, together with Dirk Ivens - guitar / FX (known for his work with The Klinik and Dive amongst others) and drummer Dries D'Hollander are continuing to keep the instrumental Krautrock vibe alive, on record and live on stage.

Mit ihrem neuen Album "3“ öffnen die belgischen Krautrocker Motor!k ein neues Kapitel ihrer musikalischen Bandgeschichte. Während die Schlüsselelemente ihrer vorherigen Alben "Motor!k“ und "2“ (hypnotisierende Basslines, hämmernde Drums und sich repetetiven Gitarrenlinien) auch im neuen Album wiederzukennen sind, unterscheidet sich dieses Album dennoch von seinen Vorgängern.Von Tracks mit minimalen Techno-Grooves, ambientartiger Gitarren- und Elektronik-Tracks, "Vintage" Motor!k Songs bis hin zu Post-Rock Feelings und psychedelischen Gitarren & Synthesizern. Delay-Gitarrenspiel und spacige Elektronik bauen hier neue Horizonte auf und zollen  damit den Klängen der späten 70er Jahre ihren Respekt. 

Das belgische Trio bestehend aus Gitarrist/Synthesist & Motor!k Songkomponist Joeri Dobbeleir, Dirk Ivens - Gitarre / FX (The Klinik/ Dive) und Drummer Dries D'Hollander, hält den instrumentalen Krautrock Vibe aufrecht & lebendig, sowohl auf Platte als auch live auf der Bühne.
