SCOOTER - Mind The Gap
Some would feel this is trance-house hardcore dance experience, others
will see it as Euro-Yobbo dance music. Regardless, the techno dance sounds
of this trio still hovers below the really intense Hardcore out there.
This is not the kind of Hardcore you might think, no hard guitars and
screaming vocals, but trance/house techno moods and beats with distorted
vocals not too concerned with singing, rather chanting in the Scooter
cheerleader fashion. Always Hardcore is taken from Neophyte
(whose hardcore is way more intense than that of Scooter), which is in
return a rip of Pearl Jam's Alive chorus. Shake That!
utilizes the '70 dance classic Shake Your Booty and All I Wanna
Do uses Sheryl Crow's tune as chorus. The Avenger's Back
includes elements from another old favourite, Knock On Wood. A
cover version of Depeche Mode's Stripped is not too bad,
the vocalist actually singing - it's a very cool song that's hard to stuff
up - but have you heard Rammstein's amazing rendition?. Elvis
Crespo's Suavemente also gets reappraised. Instrumentals include
Trance-Atlantic. There are the sillier tunes like Panties Wanted,
requesting rocker chicks to throw their bras & panties onto the stage
(!). As usual the lyrics are hardly poetic, earth shattering or world-changing.
Disc one includes two bonus tracks and a multi-media portion with a video
and photo gallery. The second disc is a 13 track live recording from their
2004 We Like It Loud Tour (including tracks like Maria, Weekend!,
Friends, Break It Up, Frequent Traveller and Hyper Hyper).
