i think i may read this for comedy value!

TOTP: How are you coping with the techno fame thing now that you're big in the UK?
H.P: Ummmm, when we work in the studio we don't care, we do our work like always and try to produce something new, which is difficult enough. You have no time to think about your current success because when you are back in the studio this is the truth. It's like starting to write on a blank piece of paper.

is it a bird?, is it a plane?,no it's Dave on the train
actual Lyrics from a scooter tune
add this to a track called "how much is the fish?" and you soon realise they're shit without having to listen to them. Then having an interview with TOTP, it then prooves without a shadow of a doubt, they're shit.
And if you don't believe me, listen to the logical song, and nessaja (sp), or if u really want a laugh, how much is the fish

actually, it goes like this:
it's not a bird, it's not a plane, it must be Dave, who's on the train


and Scooter is the German name for bumpercars

Yeah, that's why 'The Logical Song' and 'Nessaja' sound almost identical

yeah after spending 3.5 mins laffing at the video for "nessaja" i realise my mistake, but where you've gone wrong is the fact those lyrics are funnier

The chase is better the the catch.

The only thing I like about Scooter is their frequent refrences to the KLF. That and their synthpop project from the 80s called Celebrate the Nun

A) Scooter used to be Techno
B) Well if you're German and hear them on the radio every day overplay plays a part. Over many other countries it doesn't.
C) 90% of you head about 2% of their tracks and I can tell you they produce some of the best Trance I've heard.

yes im sure *pats odrori on the head*


Posted by oDrori on Sep-25-2002 20:35:

LOL, nice one DT


But I was serious though, dunno if there's much point in Scooter for you and other Harderz but as a huge Ferry fun, I can say there's definitely something good for others in Scooter... If you would bother DLing a track called
Scooter - Trancendental

Seriously, if you like Armin's remix of Time is the Healer or some of Ferry's recent works, check it out and see they ain't all "Garbage".

call me sheltered, but i almost wanna hear this shit for comedy's sake, but i think ill f*cking pass! |

A)Scooter never been techno , in mid 90's it was pure HHC act then it evolved into this cheese, which stupid people consider techno or whatever

hyper-hyper and friends are good example what scooter used to be.. thats happy hardcore

hell even i have one their late album '98

B) i dont listen radio so much so it doesnt matter

C) call it trance if u will..with cheesy hhc samples


Posted by oDrori on Sep-25-2002 20:54:

A) HHC is a sub-genre to Techno
B) Well good then
C) Listen to Transcendental


Posted by DJ-Ande on Sep-25-2002 21:13:

Dancing Dude

don't mind scooter

i love 'neesaja' or what ever, only the dub without the fanny mc, its a banging trancer


Posted by hdj_morpheus on Sep-25-2002 21:28:

i'm dling it.. i sure hope its instrumental

well even cheese producers can make good track,

Ian van Dahl - Nights on Java.. that pretty good track but not groundbreaking

well.. it's done

what to say.. well it sounds old fashioned (year??) sorta rip of universal nation .. yes it has some trance feeling but it's sound way too simple for my taste.

I guess it's time listen some good-old Push..now that universal nation come to my mind

btw. scooter had some pretty good instrumental tracks..i just cant stand commercial shit :


Posted by oDrori on Sep-25-2002 21:36:

I myself like their instrumental stuff better. They have other really Trancey shit


Posted by hdj_morpheus on Sep-25-2002 21:48:

i bet they have some better tracks..

but i listen more progressive then melodic trance nowdays

so it's enough for me to hear scooter in local club/pub

Stop putting stereotypes on every band that you don't like.
People alway put stereotypes on genres according to 1 track they hear and someone says that it's belong to X or Y genre,if the track is shit,so the whole genre is shit.
That's what I used to think about trance,cause my friend listened to psychodelic trance,with all this bass and weird sounds,like you know,amateur trance maybe,I don't know how else to describe it,so I thought trance=shit.
Then when I hear PVD and the rest of the great music with such nice melodies,I fell in love with trance and forgot that once I couldn't even hear it because I thought that all the trance is like psychodelic trance which I can't stand til this day.
So,to all who love Scooter,let them be,we all have different tastes.

It seems you only read the first page of the interview
Tracks that Scooter like:TOTP: What�s your favourite song in the current charts, apart from your own?
H.P: One thing we really like is 'Diving' it's a trance tune by 4 Strings. It's very good.

Rick: Same here!

Jay: And 'Janeiro' by Solid Sessions. That's great

Jay: We went to see DJ Tiesto, (Rick and I), and that was kind of different to Germany because here in England the crowd was celebrating with their hands up. That's not so often in Germany. It depends on the DJ and how you play with the crowd. Sometimes you wonder if the flair is still alive. But Tiesto made it in Birmingham at the God's Kitchen party at Club Code! Good job!
Scooter respect trancers,trancers should at least be kind enough,not to diss them all the time,cause they do have excellent trance trakcs.


Posted by oDrori on Sep-27-2002 15:03:

Werd on the last 2 posts, I'm not asking anyone to worship Scooter, just back off and not bother putting the unnecessary effort in posting pointless "I hate um" posts.

4 Strings are the new Fragma, they'll prolly remix the next scooter tune
and I think if anyone at code had recognised them, there would have been some serious piss taking
