Very odd. Hmm, I've always thought of "RAstakraut Pasta" on the Sky label (late 70's Plank and Meobius?) as being like this, and just remembered that Czukay plays on some of those tracks! This aspect you describe as "systematic and stiff [such that] you can translate it into a real infectious body rhythm" hits a nerve for me for describing my fascination with drum machines, computerized-shuffle, tape loops, and electronic music in general. This is the kind of topic that makes wading through this list worthwhile for me! Any other music that anyone can recommend that is organic/live/acoustic that has this aspect? Anyone? Anyone?... <ben stein's voice> I can think of some: Robert Gotobed of Wire, Doo Rag (live), Fela Kuti's Africa 70, some runout grooves turned up, some of RRR's 500 locked grooves Solenoid
