A few more guitar driven instrumentals, this time by the norwegian jazz-rock/ambient project to that of guitarist Terje Rypdal along with the Chasers, and who released a couple of great albums during the 80s, and where Michael Mann would include these two stunning pieces of music, into his classic crime-thriller Heat (1995), and would suit the films more emotional and atmospheric scenes, to absolute perfection:
Last Nite (1985)
Mystery Man (1989)
Another, maybe more upbeat and fun instrumental, is the catchy and very memorable titled:
There is a Hot Lady in My Room And I Need A Drink (1989)

So, I have been going through a few of my old favorite CDs, which have spent the last years, collecting dust, but I wanted to just browse through the memory lane of my naive teenage years, of being a big fan of the german dance/techno act, Scooter. I gotta admit, I loved their music, and while I have not purchased a new studio album of theirs, since winter/spring of 2003 (The Techno Stadium Experience), I have still most of the albums and singles I bought from 1998-2003.
I guess all the nostalgia and memories, is still a big reason to that. But when I played a bit of the b-sides, remixes and instrumentals from the period of 1993-1999, I kind of realized early on, that this might be the other, and way more important reason, as some of these cuts are still damn beautiful and very moving to me. Full of emotions and atmosphere.
Anyway, here are a few of those I believe have held up rather well, and is pretty much the complete opposite of what I guess most people would describe or think of, when hearing the name of Scooter:
Monolake (1999)
This b-side, were taken from the single of Faster Harder Scooter, which was a top 20 hit in my country, around late summer/fall of 1999. However, it was the sweet and innocent sounds of the instrumental track, Monolake, that were soon to become my faovorite. Sputnik (1998)
Another, very relaxing and calm number, which is taken from my CD single release of How Much Is The Fish?, which became a top 20 hit, back in late summer/fall of 1998. Again, I wish Scooter would have released an entire album, consisting of only these beautiful and soothing instrumentals, instead of the usual party-vocal styled music. Across the Sky (1995)
This upbeat and melodic instrumental b-side, were taken from the 1995 summer hit of Endless Summer, and once again, the remixes and b-sides, completely dominated my fond memories of that CD single. Back in Time (1995)
Surely one of their best instrumentals and b-sides, which is taken from the CD release of Move Your Ass!. A great combination of upbeat, pumping dance music, along with some very calm and beautiful sounds as well. Rhapsody in E (1994)
Most likely the best "song" Scooter ever did, and was probably done before they became Scooter, and where instead known as the Loop!. Which were a short lived dance/music project, making remixes for other artists. But I guess with the sudden rise of fame, due to the success of Hyper Hyper, they realized that instead of working for other people, making little money in return. They could just as well do the commercial stuff, just as good, or even better. Turned out to be not a bad choice, even if the music is, well, it is kind of sad, knowing they had all these stunning instrumentals in them, but instead very few seem to know they exist.
