"Sheffield totally shows how versatile and powerful scooter can be! this album will blow your mind before you can say "wow!". it opens with the peaceful "mc's missing" and you think "hey lets sit n relax" and then suddenly- "don't gimme the funk" blows you off to the wall! i'm your pusher gets you to jump with a nasty melody that turns into jumpy bagpipe tune. "where do we go" is so cool you'd be sleeping dreaming on it. then sexdwarf which has a bit annoying tune that you'd love once you listen to it several times. "she's the sun" is relaxing and although most scooterfans prefer rave and techno, they admit that this gives scooter the edge over other electronic acts. they're too versatile to beat. it's a really cool balad which you gotta agree that scooter make different music. "space cowboy"'s pretty funny and so cool, "dusty vinyl" is nice and melodic, and "down to the bone" is loud and clear! "never slow down" is many people's favourite and it's similar to bomfunk mc's "freestyler" except much better words. "summer wine"- yet another ballad! wow, 2 ballads in an album, definitly a variety of styles, the female voice is really relaxing there. and for desert, "cubic" heaviest of tracks. cya posse, this is so much styles of music. a must- have for techno and house fans, and even dance."

Like the Boys Said: And the Beat Goes on

"It all started in November 1994 with their rave flavoured single called "Hyper-Hyper," which after selling over 750,000 units at their home Germany made the trio become both gold and platinum dance icon throughout Europe. Today, we, the true Scooter fans know that six years of Scooter do not mean simply six albums and 17 singles nearly all of which have entered the Top 20 of the single charts. These six years also mean six years of experience, constant exchange of ideas and continuous development. Their latest, the eighth album "Sheffield" contains many exciting trance and techno tracks. Their 18th single (1st single from "Sheffield") starts off the album with usual H.P. Baxxter's loud-pure-Scooter-style lines "I'm your pusher." However, their latest single "She's the sun," responsible for "Sheffield"s gold certification which reminding us of the eighties with 80bpm is delivered in a slow and strangely groovy style . "Sheffield" impressively underlines Scooter's ability which gives their songs new structures without doing any harm to the band's identity and sound which has made Scooter famous."

Scooter means Harder

"When they first came out, everyone thought, great, another techno band. But when hits like Fire, How Much Is The Fish and Faster Harder Scooter hit the charts, they thought, maybe these guys will stick around for a little longer. Then came along the great split, when techno basically divided into 2 major categories - trance and hardcore. And Scooter took on Hardcore as no other band has tried before. In it's early days they were comparing Scooter with Masterboy or E-Type. Now Scooter has become "close by spirit" to Prodigy and other hardcore bands. But no one seems to notice that this is a unique band, that troughout 6 years of its existance went tough a lot of changes, but one thing that wouldn't change is the great music. Scooter fans won't be disapointed. And I rate this ablum 4.5 stars, not 4.P.S. "The chase is better than the catch""
