Production wise, ATB has really shown an evolution to shy away from his first "boing" songs. Through levels of talent, he would've exited "subpar" and started entering "average." I do enjoy some of the newer stuff, but i must admit that it's rather disappointing to see ATB using other's material, which may or may not be creditted (in the inside sleeve or something). It doesn't even matter if it's credited, because i feel he doesn't need to (yes T-trance, i'll use this word to describe it) STEAL other's work to promote himself. I'm still going to get the new album because of personal preference. It relaxes me.
as for PVD, he is a wonderful live act, and WAS a great producer. Seven Ways and Out There and Back contain some of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard, any genre, ever. ATB isn't too shabby of a DJ, of course, nothing compared to PVD. However, i felt the last ATB album i bought had more bang to the buck than PVD. It just seemed a lot more diverse than the PVD material, with something for everyone. Of course, i still like PVD, but there is a difference between "PVDs music is too complicated for you epic trancers" and "man, i'm bored."
but yes, i must admit that that tune was STOLEN.
but like i said earlier in previous posts, there is a plethora of big name artists using other peoples works (remixes) than creating completely original music.
shame on ATB
