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.
Face to Face
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking at a screen
It’s like we’re going nowhere
I need to see your face
Our photo album plays
Your eyes are like a maze that
Takes me down into cloudy deep blue skies
Deep blue skies
I don’t wanna wait until tonight
I’m lost without you
I don’t wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don’t replace
Face to face
Another message reads
We might be face to face tonight
It feels like we’re talking to machines
Touching plastic things
A picture can’t replace a face that’s beautiful
A rainy day that shines lost in power lines
Connect the wires to our bodies, souls and minds
Souls and minds
I don’t wanna wait until tonight
I’m lost without you
I don’t wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don’t replace
Face to face

We might be face to face tonight
Face to face tonight

I don’t wanna wait until tonight
Face to face tonight
I don’t wanna stay up late tonight
Just thinking about you
Don’t replace

The song "Face To Face" by ATB featuring Stanfour explores the theme of disconnection and longing for human connection in a world that is increasingly dominated by technology. The lyrics express the feeling of being lost and disconnected while floating down a stream, looking at a screen instead of seeing the person's face. The use of a photo album plays emphasizes the importance of memories and personal connections that have been replaced by digital means of communication.
The song emphasizes the importance of seeing someone face to face and the power of a beautiful face to bring a sense of joy, light, and love. The lyrics also highlight the feeling of loneliness and the longing for human connection through lines like "I'm lost without you" and "Just thinking about you."

Feels like we’re floating up a stream
We feel like we're drifting without direction.
Looking at a screen
We're staring at electronic devices.
It’s like we’re going nowhere
We're not making any tangible progress.
I need to see your face
I crave human connection and intimacy.
Our photo album plays
We reminisce about happy moments together.
Your eyes are like a maze that
Takes me down into cloudy deep blue skies
Deep blue skies
Your gaze is mesmerizing and has a powerful effect on me.
I don’t wanna wait until tonight
I’m lost without you
I can't stand being away from you and want to see you ASAP.
