i think it a possibility that the clubland tour could well be used as a promotion tool like the first one ''this is from our new album which is out in a couple of weeks'' said hp on the first clubland tour, seems to have worked well, seeing as it got to number one
but i fear it may be a little early still, but it all depends on how it is all going
looking at the facts so far
form the iinterview way back in march/may this year, (the russian fan one), rick did say they were heading back to the studeo, althought there scedual has been busy with the tours and the events, some stuff may have started then,
also we recently herd on a interview around july/august time, hp said they are working on new stuff, nothing was finished, but it was not gonna be jump/hardstyle this time but a whole new stlye, which rick said could take time to get used too, many of us think house at this time
and finally on there site and it was the first and only place so far to be updated about scooter retuning to the studeo to RECORD work on the album, and intervies are set before the end of september 24th to be precise,
so looking at those facts i would say scooter are ready to finalise the next album, the intervies will be about the upcoming tours and the new sinlge and album, IMO andi recon a sinlge is due anytime soon, so it is a possibility that the clubland tour as well as the upcoming events will be used to promote the new single annd the forth coming album,
which means clubland 18 could possibly also host scooters new single in november and the album will be due out around that time,
the only fear i have is if scooter release there new album around xmas (the stuff the turkey tour could also play some major promo for the next album), as we know any scooter material released xmas is bad, look at TSAMH, it was batterded in the charts by xmas songs, with out then it would have reached top 20 for sure, i know the promo wasnt that good but still,
also i hope scooter dont go for the quick releases again, doing it fast can go 2 ways, 1-major success, 2-a flop in the charts, UTROTT was over so quik, it kinda sank before it took off
anyway we will surley find out in the next 10 days, but this is how i think it will go, clubland tour will play a major promo boost in the uk for the upcoming album i think, just like with JAOTW on the first one, i did notice how scooter were not at the 3rd one, due to finalsing the last album, and i do think if scooter were than UTROTT would have done better in the uk, proberly never reached 1 again but definatly better, also these interviews will be the first kinda promo to say iy is near
also there is a few events incuding octoberfest coming up before clubland, they too could play a possible promo push, however this could be too soon, and scooter may use the stuff the turkey tour for its main promo for 2011 release, but icant see scooter passing up the chance to somehow promote the new album at clubland, it will be to bigger opertunity to miss, as to me, other than the xmas tour, clubland is the next biggest event they have and it will inroduce to 50.000+ dance fans that scooter are ready to release the next album, it may be a case of early promo as it could not get released till 2011 but if scooter can at lteast play the new single if ready, then it is a welcome start
IMO i see single in october and album to follow in november, both UTROTT and JAOTW were released around this time so it is possible
also in the past scooter released these albums at this time too, Wicked in oct, AOL in aug, BTTHJ in sept, 24 CG in nov, MTG in nov, WHGLLN in nov,
so it could be that the new material is closer to finish than we think
