Amazon.com 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 Similar CDs

CD ReviewsVery Unique Scott Baret | Pittsburgh, PA USA | 09/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "A lot of people on here seem to think this album is too slow, too clean sounding, etc. What they're missing out on is something completely different from a typical album of the genre, or really any album sold today in general.
I listened to "No Silence" before I got this album, and let me tell you, they ARE two completely different animals. I like to describe "Addicted to Music" as a sophisticated, thought-provoking, soothing album. The more up-tempo vocal tracks include 1, 2, and 4. Each has their own unique sound--the first one is a bit darker than the others, the second one is light, bright, and great to drive to, and the fourth one is a reflective piece in the lyrics and to a degree you can feel it in the music as well. Tracks 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10 are all a bit slower than the aforementioned tracks. Each has a different feel to it, yet they all sound right when listened to at the same time. ATB is able to keep his unique style throughout while providing diversity. Tracks 6, 9, 11, 12, and 13 are all instrumental, or at least partially instrumental. These are what really makes this album worth picking up. In particular, the ninth track, "Sunset Girl", and the twelfth, "Trilogy". The pieces both feature a lot of piano melody and have their share of builds and climaxes while repeating the same general theme--in the old German style (listen to Beethoven's 5th symphony, it's the same way). "Sunset Girl" manages to paint a picture in the mind and gives a chilling, somewhat uplifting, almost macabre sound at times--definitely my favorite track to date! "Trilogy" also manages to capture emotion well--I'd want the song played at my wedding. Finally, there's a hidden track. Keep the last one running after it's played. The song is called "Ruby". Another song like the second group I mentioned, but again with a different feel--to me, it has an academia feel to it, rather scholarly, as if it's something really smart people would listen to. This isn't an album for everyone. The people who only listen to rock and rap won't appreciate this at all. But if you have a good brain, a heart, and that special knack for appreciating this sort of music, I highly suggest you buy this!" |
