I dont really see those tracks you mentioned trying to copy Shamu. Its just a few similar notes that go up rhythmically. Thats all. Too common to point at an old track.
For example Scooter-Weekend is for me a much more clear rip-off from the little Strange World melody.
Anyway, Shamu is great, and a bit underrated. Love the main melody. The track is perhaps a bit ‘thin’. Not that much going on. But who cares about that in the end.

Oh, I had no idea about Scooter - Weekend. Apart from it, Strange World and The Legacy (Alphazone remix) do share some similarities with Shamu. Let the Light Shine In and Numb the Pain are a bit more of a stretch; you can tell they've been influenced by the tracks that came before it without being direct copies of them.

The Armin remix is one of those all time classics that I only recently discovered. Wistful and melancholic; trance at its most emotional.
Shamu featured on the Reactivate 14 compilation which was the first compilation of unmixed, full length trance tracks that I bought. And it's the first or one of the first tracks on CD 1.
So, it was one of the first trance tracks that I listened to "properly", start to finish. It immediately struck me how the build up was so meek and flat, very divorced from the euphoria that came with the breakdown and the main riff.
Now that I listen to it, it's quite an interesting build up. Quite spooky and unique. Nice segue into the breakdown with the synth that some claim was ripped off by "Strange World". Track has definitely stood the test of time for me.
