Almost three years gone since last ATB album Distant Earth saw the light of the day. Three years appears like a an great amount of time when in fact it's not. ATB was and is an very distinctive artist with a proper vision, probably due to it's legendary past. All his actions seem that come from a different reality, he don't launch singles often, instead he release albums, he don't book just for fests, he make his own concept - ATB in concert.
Contact probably comes from same peaceful bay like other ATB's stuff. An Incurable Romantic, will remain an incurable romantic. Whole CD 1 is full of that love seeking and love pain vibe. Despite of maximum exploitation of this feelings his music remain to give that escape from routine relationships, from ordinariness of usual emotions by spreading some color and dreamy notes in the air.
Album is abundant with different collaborations most of them with already settled vocalist that had some working past with artist.
And now about favorites:
Everything Is Beautiful - feat Taylr - just because of vocal this one is so memorable.
What Are You Waiting For - feat Jason - for it's incredible energy and simple but inspiring to action words. It reminds me of Apollo Road with Dash Berlin were same energy wave is spreaded.
Arms Wide Open - feat Vanessa - again nice interpretation and perfect vocal.
Times goes by and music conquer new horizons establish new standards and promote new sounds. In all that progress initial emotion and melody is important and this album have it.
