...Scooter made music for the World, now they only focus on Germany...

Quoted from ""Imre -SP-""

There it is. Even if I tried to be objective about the jumpstyle topic, even if I tried to take whatever they put in my mouth, I just can't do it anymore. If it tastes horrible, I spit it out, that's it. After about 4 or 5 disappointing tracks, this time I have to cry out loud:

WHAT'S GOING ON?!

Jumpstyle. What's that for? I can't even call it a music style. It's pathetic and primitive down to the bone. It has nothing to do with the _real_ jumpstyle, it's just a cheesy club-style mixed with the overdriven kicks with no counter-bassline. Take one HPV vocal, some claps and you're done. Each track on JAOTW can be done in no more than 20 channels. Earlier album tracks took almost 50 (or more). This sound has it's grave dug, why bother with it. OK, I understand it's easy to make cr4p from scratch 'cause the idiots will eat it anyway. If there's no demand for quality, why would they want to make quality? Makes sense unfortunately.

Before you would misunderstand me: I do _not_ blame Scooter. I blame the german music industry and the management. Germans are satisfied with this cheap sound, so Scooter makes it for them. In the past, Scooter made music for the World, now they only focus on Germany. Why? Well, try to answer the questions yourself (especially the freaks).
Look where does the "I buy anything with Scooter printed on it" attitude leads. The band has no motivation, 'cause most of the idiots buy it anyway. It's fair enough to focus on german clubs, 'cause the freaks abroad will also buy it for sure. Once I was some kind of that too, but I guess I just grew it out.

I suppose that now I'm going to be bashed by some people who are about 16yo, have been listening to Scooter for about 3 years, and the only sentence they know is "I agree with you Sandra". But I don't care. In fact, I agree to close the topic if necessary, I just wanted to say my opinions. I know there are a lot topics with flames and criticism, therefore I say sorry for opening another one just to complain.

Oh, and before you wanna post something about "jumpstyle is good because I LOVE IT", ask yourself a question: "Do I produce music myself?" - if the answer is 'no', don't bother with the flame. You'll be ignored. I know what it takes to make jumpstyle and believe me, each of those tracks can be arranged in about one day.

That would conclude today's entertainment. Comments welcome but not necessary.

I am really not interested in how long it takes to make a track - I guess some outstanding music is made in a very short time, and some abosolute c##p is worked on for months.

Quoted from ""Steve C""

Orbital's 'Chime' cost £1 to make and was mastered directly onto tape.
Alex Reece's 'Feel the Sunshine' was produced using only an old keyboard.
Paul Johnson's 'Get Get Down' took 15 minutes to write.

All classics.

ABTGO used fewer resources than the other albums and was good.
OHH came out a few months after ATBGO and was good.
TSTE came 1½ years after WBTN and was cheap/tacky.
TUAO came 1½ years after WGTLLN and was also cheap/tacky.

So no real correlation between time, cost or resources really.
