The Chug

I don't think you want Quo. But they sure chug.
Indeed he, along with thousands of others in the so-called Quo Army, has remained transfixed by the chug-ah, chug-ah, chug-ah, chug-ah, chug-ah, chug-ah rhythm (if such it can be called), which - and this is the big one - unremittingly places (the emphasis of) the beat at the beginning of each and every bar, thus resulting in the band’s seemingly hypnotic and (eventual) coercive white noise.

any particular track? soulseeking studio will end in tears.

They did an album called West Coast I think, but listen to Life's A Beach. Their Kylie remix is ace, but no chugger.
I'd also recommend their remix of Mountain Of One's Brown Piano.
Mountain Of One might fit into your chug requirements actually, but you may also hate them.
 
Yeh, but it's the minimalism it has that most space rock doesn't have - no solos, no real variation in rhythm.

And most of stereolab's career is contained within that one track
 
i tried some stuff off Gilded Eternity by Loop. It does chug, but it's a little too psychedelic, it doesn't have that basic relentlessness that, say, the Faust track does.

Ditto Spacemen 3.

ANd the Hotrod track - whilst being one of the greatest singles of all time - doens't fit at all

Fit what?

Oh believe me, some of the space rock bands I saw in the valleys would jam on a single riff for what seemed like an eternity. And beyond.
 
WTF is 'Chugging'

:D
 
Can - Yoo Doo Right chugs the night away, it's hairy and German sure but Holger Czukay is on it so...um...there.
 
BTW, if anyone hasn't heard Nurse With Wound / Stereolab - Simple Headphone Mind, I really can't recommend it enough
Yep, fantastic. There's a couple of different versions - the best one clocks in at 10.36 and contains the wonderful word 'scuttle' at about 6 mins in :cool: Much of the it reminds me of Kraftwerk's Autobahn.
 
Scooter - definitely not your 2nd and 3rd suggestions, totally off beam. Masters of the Universe sort of fits, but You Shouldn't Do That is a better Hawkwind fit.

ADB - Nag Nag Nag might work.
