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.
Too Much Rain
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A comienzos de Noviembre de 1998 un huracán azotó Centro-América y comenzó a llover Demasiada lluvia sobre el paraíso
At the beginning of November 1998 a huge and strong hurricane approached central America and it started raining. Too much rain over paradise"
The lyrics of ATB's "Too Much Rain" talk about the disastrous effects of a hurricane in Central America in November 1998. The hurricane caused massive floods and landslides that destroyed homes, cities, and left thousands of people dead or homeless. The song speaks of the tragedy that occurred in a paradise-like setting, where the beauty and tranquillity of the place were shattered by the fury of nature.
The lyrics convey a sense of sorrow and empathy for the people affected by the disaster. The use of the phrase "too much rain" is a metaphor for the overwhelming amount of destruction and loss caused by the hurricane. It is a poignant reminder of how powerless humanity can be in the face of natural disasters and how it can change the course of life in an instant.
Overall, "Too Much Rain" is a powerful tribute to the victims of the Central American hurricane, and a reminder that despite our technological advancements, we are all subject to the whims of nature.
