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.
See U Again
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (let me tell you)
The lyrics to "See You Again" by ATB seem to be about the power of friendship and the bond that exists between people who have been through difficult times together. The first verse acknowledges the importance of family, but also speaks to the idea that friends can be just as important as blood relatives. The second line refers to a specific person who was there for the singer during difficult times. The third line is bittersweet, acknowledging that this person will no longer be physically present in the singer's life, but will be remembered and missed. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's been a long day without you, my friend," suggesting that the loss of this person has been difficult to bear. The final line of the chorus implies that the singer has much to tell their friend when they finally meet again, perhaps in an afterlife after they have both passed away.
The second verse builds on this theme, suggesting that the singer and their friend have been on a journey together, and have come a long way from where they started. The line "let me tell you" emphasizes the importance of shared experience and the idea that they will have much to catch up on when they meet again. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the emotional weight of the feelings the singer is expressing.
Overall, "See You Again" seems to be a tribute to someone important who has passed away, and a reminder of the power of true friendship to provide comfort and support during difficult times. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of remembering someone who is no longer with us, but also celebrates the memories and bonds that are left behind.

Lots of songs from late 90s and 2000 are specific..not just the music by it self but the energy that was present among people in that period. The DJs who were the part of this society who also hold this energy just put it through the music to make it for others easier to visualize. I grew up on ATB ,Modjo,tomcraft,darude,paul van dyk tiesto etc.. and im born 95..im young guy but when I compare music now with music back then u can see the human touch is lost..everything is commercialized..the music is more to control your mind and make you wish stupid things..behaving stupid and so on.
Back than (even if I was not present on this parties because I was a kid ) u could see people went to listen to this music because the beat the sound the pattern was something special to kiss to touch to love to smile and ofc than people took some pills and they went totally in astral state of mind and love..
Unfortunately people enjoyed too much in drugs because they were not properly educated how often u can use them.but anyway that's the topic for itself.
Its amazing how energy of universe went to human ..human had thoughts about it..he made a music that will present the energy and it went out in society...if u think about it its kind of spiritual
I had great experience few days ago with ecstasy which I tried for first time and I can tell there is something scientists are not telling us about all of this.
I think bad disruptive energy came.to earth and went in all paths of life..music..education...art..food...that's why in 2018 we are bit fucked but I will tell u guys in this 20yrs of bad energy that is present among us lots of awaken souls came to earth just like me to.share information with you to open your eyes and tell you that the end and new beginning is here..embrace it..show yourself to the world be yourself..help without asking for returns..give unconventional..love..forgive...put the good vibe on make people smile..because everything starts from you..the world u want to have u need to shape..u control your world as u control your life
Watch life from neutral position and use negative and positive curves to shape the road you are goin to take because we need balance after all. Don't go to low don't go to high be grounded
Also love can come in many shapes so embrace it.
The power of word is stronger than a blade because it marks stays 4ever.
Jules Mansour
Magical tune, classical, systematic, melody that touches the soul, trance at its best.
