It was very successful and one of their singles, named, "Will You Be There" excitably reached number one in 1990 the Billboard Dance/Club play.After various member departures 'Scooter' formed in 1993 and they released their debut single, titled, "Vallée De Larmes" which translates to 'Valley of Tears'.

Live reviews

Perhaps Germany's most well known and most appreciated export to the dance circuit, Scooter have enjoyed a largely successful career and continue to take a live show compiled of their greatest hits to the baying masses. With a huge discography spanning three decades, the group has had to consolidate the music into a snappy set yet due to the pace they have chance to play a lot of the fan favourites.

The audience is responsive throughout to frontman H.P. Baxxter as he encourages them to jump higher and dance faster to the opening beats of the aptly chosen 'Hello! (Good to Be Back)'. The energy does not drop all evening as the whole outfit onstage perform with such vigour and enthusiasm, the crowd clearly feels obliged to join in. There is no provocation needed though during the familiar 'Jumping All Over The World' and 'Nessaja' which has the crowd dancing as one single unit.

Baxter continues to bring the party vibes and really does his duties as a frontman, through the lights you can see him dancing and moving continuously until the final pulsating beat of 'Ramp! (The Logical Song)'. The band leaves having given the audience a lesson in classic trance.
