With all the sap and cheese he can muster, ATB, aka Andre Tanneberger, pumps up the pop-dance theatrics and flies his trance flag high on the self-produced collection Addicted To Music. Along with contemporaries like Chicane and BT, his ability to write a catchy tune is obvious here, as well as on past records like Two Worlds and Dedicated (not to mention the still-potent 1999 single "9 PM"). Tracks like the would-be single "In Love with the DJ" and "Long Way Home" shimmer like a sunny lake, and will undoubtedly become ideal remix fodder. But he misses the cold drama of the genre by a mile, opting too often for molehills and ditches rather than peaks and valleys. When it comes to ATB’s squeaky-clean sound, a little dirt would go a long way. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews

Perfection
I bought this cd with low expectations. Why? I am a HUGE ATB fan, i have all of his albums, singles, etc.. and the thing is that after his first three albums, i thought.. "how is he going to top that?"

So with a critical mind i put the cd in, and i can honestly say it hasn't left my cd player since. I have probably listened through the album at least 100 times and it just gets better. PLUS when you buy this cd, you get so much stuff it's crazy!

First it comes with a little registration card that you can go to the ATB website and register.. and what do you get for registering? A 60 minute continuous dj mix that competes with Oakenfold ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! So buying this album, you get 2 albums. PLUS the cd-rom has another 40 minutes of music! So for your [money] you get about 150 minutes of the worlds finest techno!

So who am i to be saying all of this? Am i a little bubblegum pop teenybopper? NO. This review is coming from a man that owns 1000's of techno mixes... I've seen djs perform all over the world. I have heard them all from A to Z and i would put this album in the upper 99th percentile of my collection. In a word, this album is "outstandinglyawesomeperfectineverywaybuyitrightnow"

Surprisingly good
I honestly can't say that I am a ATB fan. I have always thought of him on the velveeta cheesy side of trance music. I had one of his cds ("Two Worlds") and just thought it was pretty boring and flat for trance music. I was at Border's the other day and I decided to listen to a few tracks off "Addicted to Music". Much to my surprise, I liked what I heard. The music is still on the cheesy side but this time in a good way. Then again, trance music is the [illegitimate] child of dance music. It is rarely taken seriously except when the music is by the likes of BT, Moby, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke, George Acosta, and DJ Tiesto. It has been awhile since I last listened to anything by ATB so perhaps over the past year or two, Andre actually bettered himself as a dj. Now bad cheesy trance music is DJ Sammy who should be tarred and feathered for his covers of "California Dreaming", "Heaven", and "Boys of Summer". ATB has actually improved since I gagged on "Two Worlds". I am always a sucker for the use of female vocals. That is just me. I loved the instrumental "Gentle Melody", the melody of to the song is quite gentle and has a dreamy quality to the song. The other instrumental song "Sunset Girl" is very good too. I love the piano melodies wafting through the techno beats. There was not one song that turned me off. I honestly enjoyed every single song on "Addicted to Music". I hope ATB keeps making records as good as "Addicted to Music" is 'cause he may have converted a non-fan out of me.

the more mature side of techno
i am a huge atb fan and this cd is no exception. true its not his normal stuff but that is definitely not a bad thing. he veers off from the normal clubbiness of trance and instead brings out the more mellow, sensual, adult side of the genre. overall a gorgeous mix of vocals as well as instrumentals. this is plain and simple "love-making" music.
