Production

After the success of the single "Hyper Hyper", Scooter decided to make their debut album. Released in early 1995, it contains brand new tracks and reworked "The Loop!"-remixes. There are no gaps between the tracks, it sounds like an imaginary Scooter gig (on the LP release, however, all tracks are unmixed and 7 tracks, not released as singles, are even without the crowd noises).

The album was re-released in 2013 in the "20 Years of Hardcore Expanded Edition" series. This version contains 3 CDs: the first is the digitally remastered original album; the other two contain the singles, B-sides, live recordings, and remixes related to the album.

The album was re-released on LP in 2020 to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the album's release.
