Scooter - Hyper, Hyper mp3 album

Why is this so expensive? only the artwork is different. The tracks are exactly the same found on the much more common Club Tools CDM press. Unlike the rare Scooter single "Back In Ireland" which despite being mostly the same as "Back In The UK" it does have a difference in the lyrics.LOL @ one copy for sale for 150 Euros. Don't know why would anyone bother spend 50$+ for a rarer version of a CDM which can be found for pennies. I know: Hardcore Scooter collectors.

SCOOTER - Hyper Hyper!Review by Jude Kuzma, a.k.a. 'Bulletix'Scooter have been one of my biggest musical influences of all time. They have been creating so much good songs from 1994 to 2004, and I pretty much prefer their earlier and better songs (from the mid 90's era) since the sounds and instruments sound very unique and the songs have a great deal of creativity. My most favourite Scooter song of them all is definitely 'Hyper Hyper!', a song that was previously an original instrumental track by Scooter’s keyboardist and sound-engineer Rick J. Jordan. There is brilliant creativity in the sonic aspects of Hyper Hyper, as well as the musical aspects, and Hyper Hyper was actually one of two Scooter songs (alongside the second B-side 'Rhapsody in E') that really influenced the music to my pop track 'Sit Back & Enjoy the Ride!'. The format I'm reviewing today is the 3-track digital download format of Hyper Hyper. Surprisingly, all of the tracks on it (Hyper Hyper, Unity Without Words Pt 1, and Rhapsody In E) are in the key signature of G# minor. Amazing! Anyhow, here's my review:HYPER, HYPER: My most favourite Scooter song of all time, Hyper Hyper has a great deal of creativity in its sonic and musical aspects. I especially like the thumping bass-drum, beautiful synth riff at the breakdown, and the cool acid sound near the end. In addition, HP Baxxter’s lyrics are much better than the ones from 2001 onwards. Halfway through, HP says a big shout to US (short for Ultra-Sonic) and to a further thirty DJs who were popular in Germany during the mid-90s. The music to ‘Hyper Hyper’ is very impressive and influential. (Overall rating: 10/10)UNITY WITHOUT WORDS (PART 1): Starting off with a nice high-pitched metallic synth-sound and adding in beautiful 'underwater' sine and square sounds, this song is unique and creative. It also incorporates an identically similar acid line to Hyper Hyper. Maybe the intro is a bit long and the chord progression repetitive, but it’s well-structured and very creative. It has a very interesting techno/happy hardcore drumbeat as well. (Overall rating: 10/10)RHAPSODY IN E: This simple but infectious song is probably Scooter’s most experimental and relaxing trance song. A more psytrance-based B-side, 'Rhapsody In E' uses the same underwater sine and square sounds and an identical introduction, except without the high-pitched metallic synth and the tempo is much slower. There is a very interesting sample-based 'breathy voice' synth-sound as well, which I think may have probably come from a Waldorf Microwave 1 rack synth. The basic 909 bass-drum really pumps up the song too. After the first refain, the song adds in some acid synths, a choir, and a lovely piano melody in the breakdown before the next drumbeat kicks in. Overall, this song is really unique, impressive and interesting.(Overall rating: 10/10)I really have to say, Hyper Hyper is the most interesting and influential Scooter single ever, musically and sonically. The uniqueness and experimentation in all three songs certainly gives them a freshness and a relaxed feel. I would most definitely give this single a 10/10 rating. For all you Scooter fans who do online shopping, I would strongly recommend this single (the 3-track digital download format) because the songs in it are so good and unique in terms of timbre and sonic elements as well as musicality.

You might want to check out track B2: "Rhapsody in E", an epic trance anthem you would'nt expect immediately on the b-side of this record. Goosebumps from beginning till the end!

Indeed, the lyrics of Hyper hyper are based in Ultra-Sonic's tune Annihilating rhythm, but this does not make Hyper hyper a copy. We are talking about two completely musicaly different songs. The main sequence melody is one of the best i've ever heard in a song and i had the opportunity to watch it live, so some of you might understand the feelings i felt at that time. Unity without words part I and Rhapsody in E share the same introduction. They don't transmit in comparison with Hyper hyper the same energy. In fact Hyper hyper is for dancing the other two are for relaxing. Remember Back in time? They are these typical trance gems hidden in B-sides, staying forever in your mind with this nostalgic, mind travelling mood. Although Scooter have covered, borrowed, call it however you want, numerous songs, still remain legend. And yes, I don't agree with this "policy" of covering songs, however, they have established a huge name in the dance music industry. We have to compromise with the fact that they are not the only ones that do it, yet, they do it very well. Ok it's a little annoying but let's face it, this is it.

you may think about scooter what you want, but this ep is in my opinion their most serious and respectable release. hyper hyper and rhapsody in e contain so much energy of the early techno days! this way i truely respect and love this ep. of course, their further releases are crap and each normal intelligent individual gives a fuck about their current releases. but this one is about really good stuff!

This is the world famous Hyper, Hyper, as funny as untranscendental (which explains the low rating). But this is also the masterpiece "Rhapsody In E", an early trance tune ahead of its time, a stunning melody that blow your mind since the first to the last second. Me too didn't believe this was Scooter the first time I heard it, but he deserve all my respect and congratulations for this world class song.

Hyper Hyper was indeed based in UltraSonic's tracks... not only in Anihilating Rythym, but others... it's like a mix, only Scooter had more sucess, partially because the track sounds better than UltraSonic's ones... Scooter is not an original in concept... UltraSonic was the real creator of this "live-shouting-techno-happycore" style. Personally, I've always like Hyper Hyper's melody... since it became a very famous track, of course it's either hated or loved, but still manages to bring back old memories... But this single has a very very special treat, a track that despite being in one of the most sold techno-galaxy singles ever... is completly ignored/forgotten: Rhapsody in E. This is one of the best tracks I have ever heard, and probably one in a Kind... I believe it's in the instrumental tracks Scooter show that despite all the mambo-jumbo-siberia-crap, they DO have talent. Yet, they prefer to cash in. This track, along with others is a very definitive proof... marvellous melody, samples, composition and a mood of nostalgia and futuristic embrace... unique. For me (and sorry for the blasphemy) this is PCP vs Chopin, but somehow Scooter made it!

I totally agree about the Rhapsody. Very nice with the piano theme in different keys. Of course it sounds a little dated in 2013 (especially the 909 flams), but it's deep.There are a couple of similar instrumental tracks on CD2 of their 1998 "Rough And Tough And Dangerous" best-of, but none quite as good as this one.

If you listen again, you will realize that those 3 tracks, of this 12" are more or less, the same track in different versions. Hyper Hyper - is the uplifting hardcore version Unity Without Words - is the trance version (my favorite) Raphsody In E - is more Dream/Trance version, with more chords, but somehow "Hyper, Hyper" is still echoing in my mind when I listen to it. Brilliant EP. Scooter's best release. It's pitty that they don't make music like this anymore.

Rhapsody In E might be the best track that Scooter has ever done. I was shocked first time i heard this and really thought if this was a Scooter track because it not Happy Hardcore at all, it's pure melodic Trance. The track is a full instrumental with some nice spacey sounds and a nice piano as a lead.
