Whenever Scooter are mentioned on the list I must admit I become rather bewildered [...] aside from some KLF-influenced imagery [...] I fail to see the connection.
I don't think it's entirely off topic and irrelevant. They blatently use KLF references in nearly every album (i assume -- i've never heard any of them but based on the posts here...). Their album Techno Stadium being the most blatant in both title and artwork. And I think it's more along the lines of eye-rolling here-they-go-again rather than prasie or excitement. I mean, it's not like someone is posting tour dates and setting up scooter parties. Certainly more relevant than some things posted here... -paul

fwiw, me neither. as you said later in the post, its much more relevant than some of the stuff posted

short story - i've got most of scooter. i occasionally play some of their stuff when i have A LOT of work to do in a very short time. i find that boosting my heart rate really works and so my collection of cds includes scooter, ultrasonic and some hardcore/gabba stuff. doesnt mean i particularly like it, just means i own the cds. the point of that story is that over time i've listened to most of scooters stuff, and whilst unable to cite any actual occurrences, i'm sure there'd be a reference to the klf somehow on every album. i think if you looked really hard, and were perhaps a little one eyed you'd find a obscure reference/link in every song. i dont like scooter enough to listen to their cds just to find all the linkage.

true. except for the standard "why do we talk about scooter" responses to any scooter posts ;-) simon: thats not a go at you but humour for the really old list members i'd personally be much happier if scooter came out and just said yeah we love the klf so we rip them off a lot. but i dont particularly care if they dont say it either. isnt it said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery anyway?
setting up scooter parties.
since we've just had an election here in oz, the media has all these stories about how some of the various political parties arent really political forces anymore. the mental image that came to mind first with "scooter parties" is very very scary. my 2cents, brendan
There's also something be said for bands that carry on the KLF ethos without necessarily sounding like them. For example: the Beta Band (okay, "The Sentinel" is a bit "Chill Out"; the Super Furry Animals (who owned tanks around the same time as JC and are friends of his); Mansun (who threw money at strangers on the underground for the video for "Taxloss"); Erasure circa "Chorus" and the PSB circa "D J Culture" (okay, maybe I'm pushing the boat here - but doesn't "Love To Hate You" sound like a Stadium House record?); the 21st century Scottish rave merchants Public Domain (who have released an entire album of "WTIL" soundalikes) and Le Hammond Inferno (whose album references "Chill Out" on the cover).

If we're talking influence don't forget GLC! Goldie Looking Chain really get the '87 JAMMS spirit. OK so they are a bunch of porto stoners but they do make me laugh.

the 21st
century Scottish rave merchants Public Domain (who have released an entire album of "WTIL" soundalikes)
there is and has been other dance music! Have not heard album but public domain were previously ultrasonic and apart from being kick drum oriented dance music which could sound the same doesn't seem to have much connection. (I really must stop posting when tired!)

its all the same people? why did they change names? is it a permanent change or just for a while?
www.discogs.com says... Public Domain - James Allan, Mark Sherry, Neil Skinner, David Forbes (ex), Mallorca Lee (ex), Alistair MacIsaac (ex) ... but unfortunately the only entry for Ultrasonic is www.ultrasonic7.com, founded in 2000, so they are some kind of different project. Funny enough, their homepage says "... makes you sweat"... ;-) Am 15.10.2004 um 04:28 schrieb brendan:
