“The Lost Art of Longing” is BT at his finest and finds a spot next to classic material including all-time greats ‘Ima,’ ‘ESCM’, and ‘Movement In Still Life.’ The album features 14 tracks that traverse the world of electronic dance music, from the cinematic ambiance of “Game Theory,” the progressive ‘Wildfire,’ ‘Walk Into The Water,’ ‘1AM in Paris’ and ‘Windows,’ the breakbeat wallop of ‘The Light Is Always On’ and ‘The War,’ the electro/synth inspired ‘Weltanschauung,’ the brooding trance of ‘No Warning Lights’ with Emma Hewitt, to the electronic lullaby “Save Me.’

“The Lost Art of Longing” is BT’s ode to the things in life that have a deep personal significance and meaning that are becoming archaic, antiquated, even extinct. The handwritten love letter, a rotary telephone, a book, early computers, vintage synthesizers, telephone wires, typewriters… all in sheds or garages, landfills, and other places… slowly decaying and being forgotten. There are love stories in there, stories of war and triumph, and courage and tragedy. People’s stories. Things that should be remembered.
“One of the things nearing extinction; is the art of longing. As in, wanting of something you cannot immediately have. If anything positive is to come from the situation the world collectively finds itself in, it is my great hope - speed, instant gratification, and over-stimulation are swapped out for longing, imagination, and relational connection. For a child or teenager to sit thoughtfully and ponder what is to come, to hope for or envision something amazing, to dream of a place or a future - is becoming obsolete. Longing has been replaced with instant gratification. My hope is that this record reacquaints my audience with the lost art of longing. That they will take pause, get quiet, daydream, and connect to their own place of longing. Because that, I believe, is where the magic is,” BT says.
Earlier this summer BT gave fans an inside look at “The Lost Art Of Longing” with the release of double single ‘1AM in Paris (with Matt Fax)’ / ‘The War (with Iraina Mancini)’ and now he’s peeling back the curtain further with his latest single ‘No Warning Lights’ with Emma Hewitt. The song takes the listener on a voyage, starting from a field recording taken at a train station in Amsterdam and departing through a wall of Emma Hewitt’s rich vocals and BT’s blend of trance 2.0, orchestral writing and heavy sound design. This is the peak of BT’s orchestral writing combined with the best of his dance music writing in a single composition.

This is BT’s trance ‘Thriller’ of the 2080s. Best track on the album, probably.

[@LondonWater]

Every once and a while BT throws out a banger. Really wish he’d stay away from those corny trance synths, and vocals that have no business. He used to land them much more often. He should have to serve time, every time he goes corny🤣 He’s mad talented, but he flushes it 95% of the time🤷‍♂️Makes me soft AF 🤷‍♂️

[@justblaze7907]

Best track of the album imo

[@the88cougar]

Best track of the album for sure. Real prog trance.

[@KevinKJohn]

80s inspired trancey goodness!

[@drgato5231]

Honestly this is a masterpiece

[@Mrm27274]

I would love a few albums of tracks in this vein. No more vocal trance stuff. Just amazingly creative instrumental, cranial, yet super groovy dance music.

[@andytsang4573]

Eastenders / Street hawk theme / Synthwave / 80s Neromancer / love the melodic memories, and the juxtaposition of associations in this track.

[@COLORINGBOOK888]

Aaaahhhh finally a nice long track; thank you

[@elioteland]

Cela me fait penser de part toutes les sonorités mixées... à une compilation de musiques qui ont habillés les chaines d'information des années 80 a nos jours !
J'aime bien !!

[@prasannakamatkar6430]

Awesome music thx BT 👌✨

[@CAM103109]

While we are still here. #LETSGETIT.

[@ronjohnson8230]

This would be epic in VR on Beat Saber!

[@CAM103109]

Good Stuff BT.

[@joannagil7631]

Super

[@jodeywandbyable]

A-Maz-Ing!!!

[@mohamedboukhary9942]

💎

[@LondonWater]

Had me feeling it, up until 6:16 😭

[@patw]

Same. The pickup at 2:20, again at 3:39, the chords at 4:02, bass riff at 4:12, clap-fill at 4:27-the groove is amazing. And then it’s…fine, but a different song.

[@jodeywandbyable]

Love this tune BT, but I can't hear it after 5 mins into it without hearing Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Beat The Feeling' ... I think a mash-up or collaboration should ensue...??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Stephanie-xg7mg]

I feel Cobra Kai in this song. My favorite on the album.

[@crim-jim6814]

If you like this song, you should listen to Mercedes by Deadmau5.

[@rossovenstone]

Not bad bt x

[@hntr_official]

kinda weird why it has a german name although BT isn't German
