Buy blind and not be disappointed!

ATB is one of only 4 musicians whose new albums I buy blindly without any track. Because I'm just sure not to be disappointed. So also with "Contact". Since "Dedicated" from 2002 I have all artist albums and a few CDs from the "The DJ Remixes" series.

And Andrè`s new plant is definitely one of the good quality. While there are unfortunately some tracks that are less important to my case. But that was so and it is balanced on nearly every album by absolute dream numbers again. So I was never a fan of eg ATB tracks with male vocals and has always been better off with the female vocals of Jes, Roberta Carter, Tiff Lacey etc ... And now ?? My absolute highlight is the wonderful "Straight to the Stars", sung by Sean Ryan. Gosh, your eyes and dream, that's amazing! Although no dance number, but rather a properly dignified chillout ballad ... I'm still totally exhausted, at first hearing my jaw was open!

Other highlights include the opening track "When it ends, it starts again", both with and without vocals (Instrumental CD 3), then the re-interpreted "Still Here", which has always been very liked and now with beats and light areas was taken underlaid a really nice trance number. The first single, "Face to Face" also comes with male vocals, this time sung by Stanfour. Super melodic piece that remains now hang in the ear. One of the best tracks on the album is definitely "Hard to Cure", which is strongly reminiscent of Andrè`s "Heartbeat" from the last album. A good outgoing club track that has everything you could wish for from ATB. Great and wonderful vocals, rich beat and a strong hook. Absolutely brilliant!

Then there are the two numbers with Boss & Swan. Firstly, "Beam me up", a very soulful Chillout number. To make eyes and dream :-) a completely different world is again "Everything is Beautiful". Great trance number that builds up gradually, more and more and eventually literally exploded.

With the rest of CD 1 I have partially still be hot or even listen first completely. Yesterday much can allude only briefly and will then enjoy today all the tracks in a two-hour drive away and make me my future judgment.

CD 2 with the chill-out stuff is after a first brief by listening again succeeded. Since I have at least 3 favorites, namely "When Angels Travel", then the really extremely good catchy "Pacific Avenue" and "Breathe".

On CD 3 `s then again from right with a couple of very brisk remixes that would come off well in the clubs. I like it very much.

Overall ATB again delivers a concentrated package from, and he does constantly. Always! Of other can really learn a lot. If for example, 3 years is looking forward to the new album of a band, and since then it only 10 songs without any additional extra ... Then I find that quite hard. With ATB you get something for your money, best trance finest chillout music, always exciting sound experiments and overall just great music to Dancen and dreams. Also the next ATB album I will buy blindly certainly :-)
