5.0 out of 5 stars The world's #1 DJ is back in the US., August 24, 2004

By 

Doctor Trance (MA, United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: No Silence (Audio CD)

After nearly 2 months of this release being out in Germany, it is finally released in the US. The difference between the two is the bonus DVD. The German release had the Marrakech video and the trailer for the movie Mindhunters, which Marrackech is part of the soundtrack. The US gets and Ecstasy chill track and the video for Ecstasy, even though the making of the Marrakech video is part of the bonuses on the DVD, which is weird you don't get to see that video too. And lastly, after not understanding what was being said in German on my Kontor records Region 2 DVD, I finally get subtitles with this release.

On to the album.
1-Marrakech-An awesome first release off the album, with some really hot vocals from Tiff Lacey. 5/5
2-Ecstasy-Another Tiff Lacey voiced hit, that is great as a slower paced trance tune, and even better if you can find the import CD single which has some awesome club remixes. 5/5
3-The Autumn Leaves-A slower paced pop tune, which is rather well done and the vocals are sweet. 3/5
4-Here With Me-Tiff Lacey seems to get the 3 best vocal tracks on the album, and this may be my top choice of the three. 5/5
5-Black Nights-A chill pace with some great vocals from Madelin Zero. This one is quite catchy and Andre plays piano on this track!! 4/5
6-Mysterious Skies-ATB's best instrumental trance of his huge musical career. This track is incredible!!! 5,000/5
7-Collides With Beauty-This one is a dance hit waiting to happen. Great vocals and lyrics. 5/5
8-Sun Goes Down- A very cool chill track with male vocals (actually Roberta Carter Harrison's husband!). A very uplifting and catchy beat. 4/5
9- After The Flame-The familiar sounds of Roberta Carter Harrison are back and her collaborating with ATB on his album's is a given. Glad to have her back. I think Tiff did an excellent job with Marrackech and her voice makes it unique, but I think Roberta could have easily sung Ecstasy and Here with Me and had them sound just as good as Tiff. 4/5
10-IntenCity-Another awesome trance instrumental. Two whoppers of instrumentals on here make this album worth the price alone. 5/5
11-Eternal Swells-It's a mellow instrumental with some interesting bass sounds, but overall not too memorable. 2/5
12-Wait For Your Heart-Roberta Carter Harrison is back with a pop sounding chillout track. It's decent, but I'd rather hear her on slammin' dance tunes! 3/5
13-Circular Symetry-A nice uplifting, chillout instrumental to end the album. Some interesting guitar sounds meshed in, giving an ATB vintage feel reminiscent of his track "The Summer". Lay back on the beach with this one. 4/5

And yes, I feel ATB is the best DJ on the planet, as no one has produced better tracks over the years. His talent for coming up with slammin' chart topping hits, and using the best female vocalists in the world are second to none.

With this being ATB's 5th "artist" album with all original tracks, no other DJ, not even Tiesto or Sasha, has produced 5 solid albums. Tiesto and Sasha may be the best mixers and selectors of dance music, but there currently isn't a more prolific DJ/producer.

ATB is #1

5.0 out of 5 stars atb* back with something a little different, June 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: No Silence (Audio CD)

I got the original Limited Edition Kontor Records German import from Amazon.de about a week-and-a-half ago, and I must say I was both excited and impressed with something new from atb. In the opening of the DVD that came exclusive to this 2 CD set (don't know if the one Amazon.com is selling here has the bonus DVD or not) Andre says how he is looking to change his sound each time and reinvent himself. He certainly has changed it up a bit with this new album, but I am still impressed and will be pumping his new sound for a long time to come.

First, he has a new vocal presence with Tiff Lacey (from Oakenfold's Hypnotised) who sings on 3 of the tracks, and possibly the 3 best tracks on here: Marrakech, Here With Me, and Ecstasy. Roberta Carter Harrison, the siren from the Wild Strawberries and atb's previous hits You're not Alone, Let U Go, Long Way Home, and Hold You is back for two more tracks. One of them is a slower melody, the other is a bit faster. Her husband Ken Harrison actually does the vocals for one song. Someone named Michal the Girl also sings on one track. Radikal Records' Madelin Zero sings on 2 other tracks.

Overall, one departure from atb's normal albums was that he use to feature nearly half or more of an album with either full out instrumentals, or tracks with small vocal phrases thrown in (a la 9PM). Well, on No Silence, only 4 of the 13 tracks are instrumental. The other 9 have full out lyrics! The shortest lyrics of the 9 is Marrakech.

Tiff Lacey's exotic sounding voice is perfect for Marrakech. I am not sure if her mispronunciation of the words "ritual" and "adventure" is deliberate of not, but it doesn't distract from this exotic, flavorful song anyway. Ecstasy is the 2nd release off the album and it's a great slower groove dance song. I can't wait to get a CD single with some remixes.

What is very different about this album are the amount of slower, pop-like tunes that are included, which atb touched on briefly on the unofficially titled hidden track "Ruby" on his Addicted to Music album. On one track, atb actually plays the piano! They are a much different departure from the rest of his music history.

If you are lucky to get the German Limited Edition CD with the bonus DVD, you will get the Marrakech video, the making of the video and atb interview (in German language only), exclusive photos, the trailer to the movie Mindhunters (which Marrakech is featured in), again in German, and 3 remixes of Marrakech. Last but not least, you get an exclusive access code to the atb website where you can download a new atb exclusive track called Union by Farrago. It's on atb's DJ In the Mix CD, but I think the website versoin is longer at 8:44. The UK version was just relased, but it seems to list only 1 CD, so it may not have the DVD. No sign of any release date of a US version or what it will feature. Amazon is listing two different version here, and I am not sure exactly what each one is.

I highly recommend all old and new atb fans to pick up this brilliant new album by one of the best DJ/writer/producer's on the planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great ATB cd, October 17, 2004

By 

Erica Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: No Silence (Audio CD)

I must admit that I had previously written off ATB as some trance hack a few years ago when I first heard "Two Worlds" (which has grown on me considerably in the past year). Then I heard "Addicted to Music" which immediately changed my mind about the former construction worker turned dj. I finally got around to buying "No Silence" (found a copy in the used bins) over the weekend. "No Silence" picks up where "Addicted to Music" leaves off. Granted that his music isn't groundbreaking but it is enjoyable nevertheless. Andre Tanneberger always seems to balances the world of trance and downtempo music and combines them into one sound. Although I miss hearing the instrumentals that I am used to hear on ATB's cds, I love the angelic female vocals that ATB uses. Still there are a couple of instrumental songs on the cd, I especially love the uplifting instrumental "Mysterious Skies" that sounds eerily like something Paul Van Dyk would do. Another song that stands out with me is the gorgeous "The Autumn Leaves". The female vocals is what really makes the song addictive to listen to for me. Watching the video for "Marrakech" on the bonus dvd makes me wish that MTV/VH1 would air music videos by dance artists like ATB instead of playing the same ol' hip hop/r&b/pop/rock videos they play day in and day out. "No Silence" may not be nearly as good as "Addicted to Music" (my favorite ATB cd) but it sure comes darn near close to it.
