Hello,

scooter produced many album tracks with a big hit potential over the years, most of the tracks where never released. Do you think it is a option for scooter to release a track of an old album, in a new updated version (like MYA Concert version 2010) with a big hit potential that was never released as a single before?

In my mind:

Roll Baby Roll (could become a summer hit)
Neverending Story
All I wanna do
Don't gimme the funk

Iam exited about your opinion

No.


Whilst it isn't universal that artists release singles solely for promotional purposes, Scooter customarily do so for the sake of the album that the track originated. They seem to oscillate between selecting the track that is most popular from an album, or deliberate to edit the one that requires an extra bit of work to heighten its favourability. The Night serves as a good example for the latter me thinks, for it's clear from the incomplete sounding version on the album that it required that extra bit of oomph to be more likeable and servicable as a single. But it always focuses around the album to which it comes from (with a few exceptions). And I also think it's pretty clear that they've made a few miscalculations in the past; like The Sound Above My Hair and arguably Stuck On Replay being the most recent.

Therefore, I don't think Scooter have ever, and will ever, consider releasing old album tracks. Based on the two ways they operate in regards to singles, it wouldn't make any sense; for the album would be long out of circulation and the public consciousness. IMO, the only way it would be possible is if Scooter decided to re-release an old album beforehand-- which would require them to reboot it in some way (probably updating all 12 or so tracks) in order for it to have some sort of new appeal.


Does any other group you know go back and release old tracks for no other reason that to sell that single? And this is Scooter we're talking about! Their reputation in regards to originality is already in jeopardy thanks to their latest line of releases...

Besides, the MYA hardstyle edit was never released as a single. It helped the sales of LIH though (well, for those that were aware of it).


My .02.

Edit: And it appears that I'm the only one that's given the question some thought.

Roll Baby Roll,,,, is I think one of best tracks done by Scooter, and it doesn't get enough hype! So it has my vote!
I also adore "Everlasting Love" from the "Whose got the Last Laugh Now?" album.

I'm confused.

This is the question;

OMG.... Lol!

Right, unsubscribing

<3 you kelvo! Why? You're the only other person to actually answer the question.

, but in ways you would lose the originality of the old version,

It'll also further dent Scooter's waning reputation. They've already received quite a negative image because of their less than favourable business with the hardstyle scene. I can only imagine how worse their integrity would be compromised as far as originality is concerned if they went back and tried to resurrect some of their old records. Like last time, we probably wouldn't hear the end of it. I mean there's nothing more last resort-ish or a demonstrable admission of few ideas than regressing back to earlier tracks... It almost sounds defeatist. Their main focus should be on releasing new material, and perhaps devising ways that could amened some of their mistakes.

the only re release i would find fitting would be an updated version of ATBGO, being the debut, but i would say when scooter retire then it would be more fitting, like a legend album

I can visualize a farewell album that features an assortment of re-worked tracks... Yes. But a stand alone studio album is just a no (as explained above). And I don't think it should fixate on one particular album-- rather it should select the most memorable tracks and edit for the sake of a farewell send off. Even that is unlikely in my eyes though! They're not the sort of band that deeply cares about their fans enough to go out of their way to produce anything like that. They're refusal to be more personal and open with us is evidence enough.

but mainly i say no, who wants to here an old track, it wont be exciting enough to here an old track

Exactly.

would you prefer to haer a old track re-edited for a release, which you already know and could sound worse than its original or a brand new track, which you have never herd and dont know how you would feel about it?

Who wants to miss out on the mystery and excitement that comes with waiting for brand new material??? Not me.

So true.

Just wish everyone else was as conscientious.
