Around the world: Surrender to the road

There are tracks that play in an obsessive loop, every time the AT car hits the road. The compilation begins in optimism, sure (just enough to get you outta town), and gradually sinks into the abyss. The way AT see it, as the scenery plays the pretty vacant, pain and sensibility complete the 360 degrees experience.

Arizona: road is the word




"It is the day, my body's weak. I'm gonna run, no time to sleep. I've gotta ride, ride like the wind to be free again."

Driving through the Arizona desert only rock(s) and Saxon come to mind.





To feel so free should be illegal - oh, and it (almost) is! "Kill 'em All" by Metallica should play next...

Cruising Arizona is a life lesson - singing in hardship.




Soundtrack: ...Ride Like the Wind (Saxon version)

Utah: True colors



I walked through the Valley of Gods - and it was a hell of a bumpy, muddy, mad-dy ride. The other side of America is magical, lonely, heavenly ignored.
In your face.

Soundtrack: Personal Jesus (Johnny Cash version)
