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.
His highly anticipated "Distant Earth" album was released 29th April 2011 and was comprised of 2CDs including combined work with Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin, Melissa Loretta and Josh Gallahan. A 3rd CD was also produced with all the club versions of the first CD hits. Singles released from the album include Twisted Love ft. Cristina Soto and Gold ft. JanSoon.
To date André continues to maintain a connection with his fans through social networking sites and still goes on tour.
Everything Is Wrong
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My complicated soul
My insulated cold and borrowed
Show me where you'll hide
When everything is bold
When I can't even scold tomorrow
[Chorus]
But everyone was gone
The clouds betray the story
And everything
Everything is wrong
Careful what you say
The center never folds
The past is always gold tomorrow
I can hear you sigh
From half a smile away
The bills are never paid with sorrow
[Chorus]
Maybe it's too late
To start another page
To finish what we've made with violence
In between the lines
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to break but silence
The lyrics of ATB's "Everything Is Wrong" convey a sense of detachment and isolation amidst a world that seems to be rapidly changing. The song speaks of a complicated soul that seeks temporary respite from reality through borrowed time, and begs the listener to show them where they can hide when everything becomes too overwhelming. The chorus repeats the phrase "everything is wrong," emphasizing the feeling of hopelessness and despair that the singer is experiencing. They try to apologize for something, but nobody is around to hear them. And the clouds seem to betray the story, perhaps indicating that the world is indifferent to their plight.
Line by Line Meaning
Show me your disguise
Reveal to me the facade that you put up to the world
My complicated soul
My inner self is intricate and challenging
My insulated cold and borrowed
My emotions are cut off from others and not truly mine
Show me where you'll hide
Show me the place you retreat to when faced with difficulty
When everything is bold
When things are at their most intense and extreme
When I can't even scold tomorrow
When I am unable to control even the future
[Chorus] I tried to say I'm sorry
I attempted to apologize for my actions
But everyone was gone
But no one was there to hear it
The clouds betray the story
The weather is indicative of the situation
And everything
And all aspects of life
Everything is wrong
Everything is flawed and not as it should be
Careful what you say
Be cautious with your words
The center never folds
The core of something will never give way
The past is always gold tomorrow
Tomorrow, the past will seem more valuable than the present
I can hear you sigh
I am aware of the sound of your breath
From half a smile away
Even from a distance, I can perceive your emotions
The bills are never paid with sorrow
Mourning a loss will not alleviate financial burdens
[Chorus] Maybe it's too late
Perhaps it is beyond the point of recovery
To start another page
To begin anew
To finish what we've made with violence
To complete what we have created using forceful means
In between the lines
In the subtext
There's nothing left to say
There is no more to be spoken
There's nothing left to break but silence
The only remaining thing to be shattered is the absence of sound

It's 2017. I absolutely love Hazem Beltagui at the moment and I found him at the exact moment where I really couldn't find someone the produces music close to this in the aspect of uniqueness but whenever I hear this I feel a lot of sorrow because of what ATB used to produce....He really had no match and probably never will. It means so much to me....so so much. Thank you....
