TRANCE ATLANTIC AIR WAVES
A new musical project by Michael Cretu

---

Live From The TAAW Broadcast Tower

• I have just received the promo copy of the new Michael Cretu produced Andru Donalds single All Out Of Love and guess what......All of the remixes are done by TAAW - alias Cretu/Gad. The official listed producer of course is Michael Cretu and the remixes are labeled Remixes by T.A.A.W. The artist is of course Andru Donalds and also it is listed as Performed and engineered by Michael Cretu & Jens Gad. The sound is ...great, and the production excellent!!
  
  The Radio edit is a ballad with the magic Cretu keyboards and orchestral feel to it. Donalds has a great voice and you can't help thinking how would a track like Why sound with him singing!! He has a great range to his vocals. This could be a big hit!!
  The dance version is a very disco beat approach from the 80's, and has a rapid feel to it. This was the first track to be remixed by Cretu/Gad and you could say it has the TAAW sound.....very 80's feel to it. The other 2 remixes are Ambient Versions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• TAAW at the movies - Crockett's Theme the new single due for May release is being used in a trailer for a future release called "A Night At The Roxbury". This film is based on a popular Saturday Night Live TV show skit involving two annoying guys who bob thier heads to Haddaway's "What is Love" song and drive women away while thinking they are total studs. The sample used is the very beginning, just before the electric guitar begins. The film, of course, looks stupid, however TAAW fits perfectly with the dance club atmosphere in which the film takes place.
  Thanks to ADAM from the Enigma mailing list for this information.
