Among his most famous songs is “9pm (Till I Come)”, which topped the charts in the United Kingdom in 1998 and is widely regarded as the UK’s first Trance number one. The track features a guitar riff which became hugely popular. This guitar sound, which he accidentally found while experimenting with a new producing deck, became the trademark of his early hits. ATB continues to evolve and change with every album. His current style involves more vocals and varied sounds, with frequent pianos.
Despite only releasing a few more singles in the UK, namely “Don’t stop!” (No.3, 300,000 copies sold) and “Killer” (No.4, 200,000 copies sold), he still regularly releases music in his native Germany and in other parts of Europe, where he has scored big hits such as “I Don’t Wanna Stop” and his cover of Olive’s 1996 hit “You’re Not Alone”.
“Two Worlds” (2000) is a two-disc album based upon the concept of different types of music for different moods, with titles such as “The World Of Movement” and “The Relaxing World”.
ATB’s latest hits include uplifting “Ecstasy” and chilling “Marrakech”, both from the album “No Silence” (2004) and also released as singles.
In 2005, ATB released “Seven Years”, a compilation of 20 songs, including many greatest hits such as “The Summer”, “Let U Go”, “Hold U”, “Long Way Home”, and “I Don’t Wanna Stop”. Additionally, “Seven Years includes six new tracks: “Humanity”; “Let U Go (2005 Reworked)”; “Believe in Me”; “Trilogie, Pt. 2”; “Take Me Over”; and “Far Beyond”. Many of ATB’s recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter Harrison, singer for the Canadian duo Wild Strawberries.
His next album was co-written by vocalist Tiff Lacey. “Trilogy” was released in 2007. The release of his second single “Justify” was moved from November 2006 to 2007. The single “Renegade” was released on 2007-04-12 and features Heather Nova.
On 2009-05-01 ATB released his latest album “Future Memories” featuring Josh Gallahan (a.k.a. jades) and others. The first single release of Future Memories which was also released on May 1st 2009 features What About Us and L.A. Nights.

Everything Is Beautiful
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't fear the light
Been asleep for eternity
And now you walk amongst your dreams
Chorus
You know it's home when everything is beautiful
Feel safe and warm, soaking in the desert sun
Everything is beautiful
Colors combine
Painted all across the sky
No disguising, you're far too bright
Own your journey, own your life
Wake up, it's time
Don't fear the light
Been asleep for eternity
And now you walk amongst your dreams
Has my heart, heals my soul
Everything is beautiful
(2x)
Chorus
You know it's home when everything is beautiful
Feel safe and warm, soaking in the desert sun
Has my heart, heals my soul
Everything is beautiful
The lyrics of ATB's song "Everything is Beautiful" tell us a story of a person who is going through a journey of enlightenment. The song suggests that it's time to wake up and embrace the light, which is symbolic of positivity, hope, and inner peace. The person has been asleep for quite a while, possibly mentally or emotionally, but now they're amongst their dreams, symbolizing that they have finally woken up to find their purpose and ambition.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that when everything feels beautiful, it's home. The person feels safe and content basking in the warmth of the desert sun. This symbolizes that the person has stabilized their emotions, found peace, and created a serene environment for themselves. The song also mentions that "colors combine, painted all across the sky," which indicates that the person is seeing the world in a different light, possibly much more positively, and that everything has merged beautifully, just like a rainbow.
As the song progresses, the message becomes even more evident. It wants the listener to know that they are far too bright to hide behind any disguises or insecurities. It's essential to recognize one's potential and embrace it to own their journey and life, which is reiterated towards the end of the song.
Overall, the song suggests that it's never too late to wake up and appreciate the beauty of the world, whether it's external or internal.
