	I am also a Kraftwerk fan and find their albums "TRANS-EUROPE EXPRESS" 
and "COMPUTER WORLD" very danceable if that is what you mean by beat.  Also,
some work ( I can remember off-hand ) done by Klaus Schulze has some good
beats.   As far as bands that specialize in this certain style I would not
know, but would also like to find out.  Anyone else know anything?

Thanks

Jim
