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.
Only This Moment
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
No one to guide us
Lost in our senses
Deep down inside I know our love will die
Holds us together
Lost in confusion
Feelings are out there
Scared of devotion
Doubting intentions
Deep down inside I know our love will die
Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
What heaven decided
You can't deny it's
All you've been waiting for
Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
Your spirit's divided
You will decide if I'm
All you've been waiting for
Clouds in my head have been parted with grace
By the voices of an angel revealing her face
And her words they make sense 'n' I do understand
Falling in love isn't part of a plan
Forces within me mix reason with lust, but
I'll try to accept it and not make it worse
'cause I know I might loose it by taking the chance,
(But) love without pain isn't really romance
Only this moment
Holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
Always beside her
Trusting my senses
Deep down inside I know love will survive
Only this moment
Holds us together
Close to the other
Nothing else out there
Always beside her
Trusting my senses
Deep down inside I know love will survive
ATB's song "Only This Moment" talks about how love is fragile and it is only in this present moment that the couple is experiencing it. At the start of the song, the singer expresses that only this moment is what holds them together, and there is nothing else out there that can make them as close to perfection as they are now. Despite being lost in their senses, they both know that their love will eventually die, highlighting the ephemeral nature of love.
Through the chorus, the singer emphasizes the importance of making a decision in the present moment, either to stay and try to work out their relationship, or to forever go and risk missing out on potential happiness. Love is a complex emotion that can lead to confusion and doubts, and it is up to the individual to decide whether the risk is worth taking.
The singer then goes on to talk about their own inner turmoil, where reason and lust are always battling against one another. Nonetheless, they are willing to embrace the struggle and not let the fear of pain get in the way of their romance.
Overall, "Only This Moment" is a beautiful representation of the fleeting nature of love, but also the importance of cherishing it while it lasts.

Великолепная работа! Лучшая композиция в новом релизе. Прямо "мемориз" в голове сразу пролетели... Чем-то напомнило старую школу ATB!👍😎👍

Я бы сказал, не просто "мемориз", а "фьюча мемориз". 😉
@guacamoleg
Точно, после последних релизов не знал что ждать, но этот трэк действительно во многом напоминает начало 00-ых и в то же время что-то новое.
