Lol, ATB?

anybody ever seriously got into him? even when I used to adore Dj MystiK back in my 6th Grade days, I never really enjoyed ATB in the most honest words I can confess.

ATB's type of "Electronica" or "Trance" as he claims, is similar to the likes of ATC's Around The War.

Honestly his only mediocre tracks are Ecstasy (Original/Club Mix) and Til 9PM. Both these tracks are so generic and they seem like the cheesiest tracks of The Gateway Era.

Pardon if I offend anybody, but that's just how I feel. Of course everybody's experience is different.

How about you?

He was góod as the entry level of electronic music, but once one starts learning about the more serious aspects, he kind of fades away. So basically, we could say that he has a role to play into the entire EDM genre.

Just like with some generic trance-tracks, 9pm and Ecstasy play more of an emotional role for me, than a musical one.

After hearing his weak-ass cover of Adamski's Killer, I could never take him seriously again. Why would even try to match Seal, f'crissakes!?

easy to knock, but his 'the dj' mix comps were not bad.

also. let you go club mix is AWESOME - bongos, dark vocals and searing synths.



but yeah, all his other productions are cheese. can't dent the success he had with 9pm though, and this is a great tune, don't stop x-cabs mix... manages to make that trademark hawaiian riff bearable.

i used to play atb a lot back then, semi decent commercial music



This track sounds so amateur and vocals aren't good ones imo but i think is the most enjoyable track by him. Never understood his sucess, maybe we should consider him the david guetta of trance.

listened to ATB everynight after I got home from the club. Then it was time to order pizza, and then hop on motorcycle and go cruising. Good times.

"Lol, ATB?", what are you, 12?

Even when I enjoyed cheesy eurodance most of his stuff was too much for me. He was a crowdpleaser though, always had a couple of tracks by him just in case.

UNTIL I CUMMMMM

I liked his first album (I was 12) but everything after that I hated.

Is he DJing retirement communities yet?

ATB - Don't Stop (X Cabs Remix)

The classic days of MOS. This track sure gives me the chills!

Somehow i only appriciate 9pm and Don't Stop, not forgetting he did pretty good covering "It's A Fine Day" I can't really dig anything else from him especially in the late 00s

it's so funny going back to this music 13 years later and realizing how incredibly simple it is.

Maybe in USA, where it takes (or used to) ages for something european to register.

This song has been out since at least 98?

thanks to Armin I got into trance. "Communication" got me into his sound. Take a listen to "Boundaries of Imagination" for some perspective.

I'd say that up until maybe 2007 or so... he was quite entertaining, but then he quickly became a pop brand. Every once in a while he throws his (remaining) trance fans a bone and plays a decent set or two - which is smart business move on his part.

All things aside, ATB was one of the ones that got me into trance, alongside Armin, Tiesto, Oakenfold, van Dyk. Of course his music is a bit cheesy but back in the day it was a gateway into the genre I guess.

Always loved his stuff. It was and still is super cheesy, but that's half the fun. Music was a lot more free and experimental in the 90s as opposed to the over engineered, brick wall stuff you get today.

I inevitably ran into him when I was like 13 and attempting to discover more music online (thanks Limewire!). I liked Ecstasy and 9 PM, but could never get into anything else. Was never my brand of vodka.

Watching the music video for Ecstasy for the first time in years, though, is damn hilarious.

the 1st IN THE MIX comp was very solid. It had a lot of solid tunes on it...

I had a chance to meet him at EDC in NJ a few months ago. Very humble and was very apprciative of his fans. Hung out for awhile and signed autographs, took pics with everyone.




Guilty Pleasure.....

His chillout/ambient pieces are listenable but his pop shit isn't.

Nope, I was only 6 or 7 years old back in 1999

I forgot about Sunset Girl, but I like that song too. It's probably heaps and leagues ahead of most of his other tracks.

Anybody else like "It's a Fine Day?" I recall people used to love that song. It's feels the same as any other of his songs though.

These are pretty cool tracks
