Err... You mean that with scooter they had more artistic freedom to rip off another artist (not one but several, in fact, as they were stealing from everybody, without the wit and humour of B+J's cultural references)? The freedom to jump on another bandwagon, like they did with Celebrate The Nun, which was a version of DM and PSB? I've said many years ago why I don't like scooter, I don't want to repeat myself, neither want to start a flamewar, and music is just music, to each his own - but seriously, how long have they been going with almost the same sound, breakbeats, BPM counts, etc.? Like 16 years? At least with The KLF every release was different, and they knew when to stop. Thinking about it, even Ministry had that technopooo sound which was probably label-forced (as it was with Brilliant, a SAW-related band), but even they took a radical turn. Scooter just took it up where Celebrate The Nun stopped. Germany gave us many great electronic and pop bands - scooter is definitely not one of them. I tried to like them, I really tried, even thought about buying some of their K-related stuff. But I can't and I won't.

Celebrate the Nun seem to have the same connection to Scooter as Underworld
mark 1 (Underneath the Radar, etc) had with Underworld mark 2 (Born
Slippy). Or even Brilliant with the KLF. The former were all "serious"
bands (or as serious as Depeche Mode-ed pop groups can get) whereas the
latter were all hugely successful because their members became a lot more
free artistically over the intervening years.

I guess that i had forgotten that Scooter used to be "Celebrate The Nun" before he was Scooter. I used to love "Will you Be There" and She A Secretary" both were great traxx. I read the Wiki article and was floored!!
