It seems hard to believe, but a decade has passed since ATB made waves
with his “Movin Melodies“ album. 10 years in which André Tanneberger
travelled the globe over and over, mesmerizing his fans all over the
world with his unique DJ sets. A decade in which ATB presented eight
albums – including the newest ATB LP “Future Memories“, set for May
release – to lighten up our days an
...d
nights with exquisite electronic music, melodic yet pulsating. The new
CD is more eagerly anticipated than ever – with good reason. Breaking
the rule of an album every year, “Future Memories“ was two years in the
making. This was not necessarily the original plan, but the sheer number
of international ATB gigs and tours simply did not allow a timeframe to
record an album in a concentrated period of a few months.
So
it was that, on returning from each tour during the last two years, a
new track was born, reflecting the impressions and experiences on the
road and on stage. “Two years might sound like a long time to produce an
album. But I spent roughly the same amount of time on “Future Memories“
as on my previous LPs“, André explains. The methodology was different
this time around, however. “Unlike the last album, which was very much
based on classic songwriting and real instruments, “Future Memories“ has
more of a focus on keyboards and synthesizers again. I wanted to get
back to my roots in electronic sounds,“ ATB continues. Of course, both
André Tanneberger and his music have developed further, adding new,
refined touches to the classic ATB sound. Tempo is of the essence on the
new recordings, raising the bar higher than ever for a trance album.
Hence
“Future Memories“ features four tracks which clock in at over 165 beats
per minute. Anyone who thinks this signals a departure into hardcore
or techno by ATB would be mistaken. In spite of their high speed, these
songs still have that essential ATB soul. Meanwhile, “Future Memories“
also serves up a number of ATB tracks as the fans know and love them –
indeed the sound which has won ATB so many loyal fans over the years.
The tracks registering over 165 bpm are there to get people to think
more deeply about the album, as André explains “controversy makes it
more interesting, it gets listeners to engage with the album more
intensely“. He’s certainly achieved that with flying colours, judging by
the heated debate in forums in advance of the release already.
“Future
Memories“ contains 26 tracks on two CDs. One with driving, melodic club
music, the other in a more ambient style. “On my other albums I used
the 2nd CD to show my fans another side of ATB. Same again with “Future
Memories“. I love ambient music, love listening to it and producing
songs in the genre, I find it enjoyable and relaxing. Most of these
songs were created at home in a more intimate environment“ ATB points
out.
It goes without saying that André has collaborated with
other artists for the new album. This has been one of his trademarks
over the past decade. This time, there are songs with Roberta Carter
Harrison, Haley and Josh Gallahan, no strangers to connoisseurs of
earlier ATB records. Betsy Larkin and Aruna are two brand new guests on
the album. Fans of ATB’s instrumental tracks will also find plenty to
keep them happy.
Sightings of André in Germany over the last
couple of years have been few and far between. As electronic music grows
into an increasingly global phenomenon, ATB has been travelling to a
dfferent country almost every week. Fans in his home territory could be
forgiven for thinking that ATB had gone quiet. In fact, the opposite is
the case. André is one of a very select group of musicians in the genre
to have succeeded in creating timeless music. Without doubt he belongs
to the elite of the global electronic community. One only needs to look
at his releases and chart history to realise this – not to mention the
fact that his DJ sets are in such great demand among the clubs and fans
alike.
In spite of his global success, André has kept both feet
firmly on the ground and has never lost sight of his fans being the
prime focus of his attention. International travel means less time for
his followers in respective countries, but he is always willing to give
them something back. With this in mind, he created the ATB “Live In
Concert“ experience, a live event which transcends the DJ set framework,
a fully-fledged concert presentation featuring live vocals and real
instruments. “In contrast to my DJ sets, where I use a lot of material
by other artists, ATB In Concert is all about my own songs “ André
explains. “This is my way of offering the fans who have stuck with me
over the last ten years a dedicated ATB live show from start to finish.“
Seven such concerts are scheduled for 2009.
„Future Memories“
also includes a new version of André Tanneberger’s worldwide hit “9 P.M.
– Till I Come“. Not in any way a sign of commercial sell-out, much more
a consequence of ATB having played the track at almost every gig in the
past ten years. “9 P.M. was a must for my fans. They expected, even
demanded it – and I was happy to oblige“ he says. He always endeavoured
to play mixes of the song which no other DJ had. “I now wanted to have a
new version of 9 P.M. to play in my sets, which nobody else could play.
I didn’t expect the reaction of the fans at the gigs to be so
overwhelming. Which is why I have added a mix of the new version as a
bonus on “Future Memories“ – as a way of saying thank you to the fans.“
