SHEFFIELD: It's up there with some of the better albums..........2006-06-17
Sheffield, Scooter's sixth major album, first album of the new millennium (released in 2000), and named after their private recording label (it's also H.P. Baxxter's new name - Sheffield Dave), marked a great milestone in Scooter history. Following the success of "Back to the Heavyweight Jam" in Germany, the previous year, the group released yet another fat album of truly classic Scooter songs and mixes. The album has so much variety and keeps you raving from beginning to end. This is one of the best albums Scooter has ever made, and will always remain a classic. A great way to start off the new millennium, in my highly-regarded opinion.
1. MC'S MISSING: One of the best introductions, it features a minute or so of random noises and sounds leading into the next fat track.
2. DON'T GIMME THE FUNK: This number could have been a single it's so good. It sounds like some Irish folk tune with classic strings playing alongside a funky rhythm. I could listen to this song almost as repeatedly as the next track, the crux of the album.
3. I'M YOUR PUSHER: From the beginning of the song ("Scotland posse!") to the end with H.P. Baxxter's signature laugh, this song is guaranteed to pump you up no matter how many times you listen to it. This is one of Scooter's best singles ever, and has a great melody, probably also ripped off of some Scottish folk tune, and Sheffield Dave does a great British accent for a Kraut. This is clearly the best song on the album, and it's worth buying this CD just for this song.
4. WHERE DO WE GO?: This is a classic Scooter trance song, and seems a bit passive in comparison to the previous track, but I still like it. It has a nice quiet melody that reminds me of some of Scooter's earlier work
5. SEX DWARF: This is a cover version of "Sex Dwarf" by Soft Cell. I like Scooter's version better, and plus Sheffield Dave's voice is particularly entertaining to listen to. This is probably the only erotic song that Scooter has ever done (and hopefully ever will do), but at least Scooter is showing how they can experiment with a variety of genres and still make it interesting. Note the woman breathing rather heavily on this track.
6. SHE'S THE SUN: This song also emphasizes Scooter's highly original talent. The first ever rap song written by Scooter a la electronica. While H.P. Baxxter certainly does not compare with any native English black rapper from L.A. he makes a noble effort despite the slow tempo of the song. This is the other single on the album, and has some very emotional and expressive lyrics that make you realize Scooter is not all about happy hardcore.
7. SPACE COWBOY: This song is a bit repetitive with the bass and the lyrics, but has an awesome middle section that sounds so 2000's, with the slow techno beat and all that jazz.
8. NEVER SLOW DOWN: "Never Slow Down" also starts off sounding very 2000's, bringing in the new slow techno beat with hard snare drum of the 21st century, but it's not too long into the song before it's classic Scooter mix for the rest of the song. Better lyrics, better percussion: better song. This is one of my favorite songs on Sheffield, even though it's not very well known, it is a little different in terms of the rhythm, and I like it.
9. DOWN TO THE BONE: Well, it starts off very melodramatic and sad, with just the keyboards, but then breaks out into the typical techno beat. While sounding chaotic at times, it is more melodic than most on this album, but is still worth listening to.
10. SUMMER WINE: OK, I thought "She's the Sun" was out of Scooter's league, but now they're really pushing it! Nancy Sinatra? Come on, people! You have to be crazy to do a cover version of Summer Wine! Anyway, the woman trades off with H.P. Baxxter, who again tries to sing authentically British or some other English-speaking country. It retains the feel of the original song, with a strings/guitar/snare section to spice things up.
11. DUSTY VINYL: Sheffield ends with to instrumental tracks. The first, "Dusty Vinyl", is my least favorite. It just sounds too chaotic and dissonant, and doesn't really go anywhere with barely any melody, something with which Scooter is usually pretty consistent.
12. CUBIC: The second trance-ender is better, in my mind. Starts off a bit slow with a not so interesting melody, but once the offbeat chords start rocking out with a louder volume, then it's all uphill from there. It's a bit lonely, and I would listen to it when I'm in a state of depression, and it's not hardcore enough to play at a club, but nevertheless it's a great piece of music artistically speaking.
And, speaking of which, does not this album represent the great artistry of Scooter? They are truly one-of-a-kind artists. Their music is just so great for the 21st century and they really know how to create energetic, artful, and creative music. Maybe they're not Mozart (I wouldn't be surprised if one of the band members was a descendant of Mozart - but then again, aren't all Germans geniuses when it comes to art?), but they make you jump up and down, and they are very contagious. I've got so many people hooked on Scooter - in a matter of months I got about 100 people at my high school to become Scooter addicts. Sheffield is a testament to this addiction, because once you start listening to it, you won't want to stop. The only thing I have to say is...BUY IT!!!!
Another excellent album but maybe not so good as the others.......2002-03-25
This album from the German techno outfit Scooter starts off really well with the spectacular "Don't Gimme the Funk" and "I'm Your Pusher." The rest of the album has some excellent tracks on it, of which the best are probably "Where Do We Go?" "Space Cowboy" and "Cubik." However, one slight disappointment on this album are the lack of really memorable tracks that you would want to listen to again and again. There are no real killer tracks which stick in the mind and so I would say this is probably one of Scooter's most disappointing albums. But, having said that, it still towers above similar offerings from other dance artists and remains a worthy Scooter album.
Gotta Love Scooter!.......2001-09-07
I am an absolute Scooter Fan, I have most of their albums and all of them are great. Of course some songs are better than others, but overall Scooter is still the best techno/trance group there is. I especially like: "Down To The Bone, I'm Raving, Sex Dwarf, etc." I would definetly buy this CD!!
hi energy on the loose.......2001-06-28
what can i say that has not aldready been said about the best techno group in the world - EVER ! newcomers beware - scooter sounds are not tolerable to the modest ear. you might find some tunes fairly mainstream in the order of 2 out of 3 however that one distinct melody will be enough to blow your socks off. so u can estimate an average of 3 heavenly techno anthems in each of their releases, the rest ain't bad either- they got the beat that can make you bounce - HARD
Cool techno music! Great album!!!.......2001-03-25
The only Scooter albums I really like are Back to the heavyweight jam and Sheffield. They did a really good job on this CD. Besides the fast-paced techno tunes, there are some ballads, like She's the sun and Summer Wine. The instrumental songs are also good. The best ones are I'm Your Pusher and Don't Gimme The Funk. I highly recommend this CD!!!

ROCKS!.......2000-07-18
Sheffield totally shows how versatile and powerful scooter can be! this album will blow your mind before you can say "wow!". it opens with the peaceful "mc's missing" and you think "hey lets sit n relax" and then suddenly- "don't gimme the funk" blows you off to the wall! i'm your pusher gets you to jump with a nasty melody that turns into jumpy bagpipe tune. "where do we go" is so cool you'd be sleeping dreaming on it. then sexdwarf which has a bit annoying tune that you'd love once you listen to it several times. "she's the sun" is relaxing and although most scooterfans prefer rave and techno, they admit that this gives scooter the edge over other electronic acts. they're too versatile to beat. it's a really cool balad which you gotta agree that scooter make different music. "space cowboy"'s pretty funny and so cool, "dusty vinyl" is nice and melodic, and "down to the bone" is loud and clear! "never slow down" is many people's favourite and it's similar to bomfunk mc's "freestyler" except much better words. "summer wine"- yet another ballad! wow, 2 ballads in an album, definitly a variety of styles, the female voice is really relaxing there. and for desert, "cubic" heaviest of tracks. cya posse, this is so much styles of music. a must- have for techno and house fans, and even dance.
