No Time to Chill ( dt. "No time to rest" about) is the fifth studio album of the German techno band Scooter . It was released on July 20, 1998 and, like almost every Scooter album, contains twelve tracks. With the album, the group made it to the top of the Finnish album charts for the first and so far only time. However, only Germany is taken into account , where the record made it to 4th place, which was the second-best position of a Scooter album in Germany to date, Austria with position 27, Switzerland with position 20 and Sweden with position 16 , as well as Great Britain .
The album was produced in Loop DC Studios 1 and 2 in Hamburg . The executive producers were Scooter members Axel Coon and Rick J. Jordan, the lyrics to the songs were largely written by HP Baxxter.
The cover was designed by Marc Schilkowski, who was also responsible for the design of other scooter productions. The photos for this come from Holger Roschlaub from Hamburg. The singer Nikk was responsible for the backing vocals , an additional guitar was played by Helge Vogt .
music
The album mainly contains borrowings from hard house , trance , downtempo and electro . As on most Scooter albums, there are also many cover versions and adaptations of well-known melodies. For example, How Much Is The Fish includes the traditional Breton song Son ar chistr , which became known to the Dutch group bots in 1976 under the title Zeven dagen lang , while in Germany it is generally sung as What do we want to drink . For We Are The Greatest , Scooter sampled a melody from the song Street Dance , which was published in 1982 by the American rap project Break Machine , and the lyrics to Don't Stop The Rock , a song by the rap group released in 1985 Freestyle .
With I Was Made for Lovin 'You , Scooter covered one of the most famous songs by the American rock band KISS from their 1979 album Dynasty . It was written by Paul Stanley , Desmond Child and Vini Poncia . And like on Our Happy Hardcore with Rebel Yell, there is a Billy Idol cover with Eyes Without A Face , also from the album Rebel Yell . The title refers to the French horror classic from 1960 by director Georges Franju , based on a novel by Jean Redon .
Expecting More From Ratty means "more is to be expected from Ratty". Scooter alludes to their side project Ratty , with which they released two singles from 2000.

The action interspersed next to it takes place in a dark, rainy backyard, in which some young men are playing soccer. Then a motorcycle gang appears and snatches the handbag of a young woman. The soccer players and the woman collect the bag from the motorcyclists together.
