LTD vinyl issue packed with global hits ! Gatefold sleeve Pumpin Peak Of night Main Room EDM
With the hypnotic and bright Grammy-nominated track "Levels," Swedish EDM DJ/producer Tim Bergling aka Avicii unleashed a global dance hit the size of "Beachball," "Blue Monday," "Starships," and maybe even "The Hokey Pokey." If the masses leave the dancefloor, "Levels" brings them back with sunshine and light, but Avicii's debut album is a sharp left turn, kicking off with the acoustic guitar strum of "Wake Me Up," a pleasant, well-written heritage pop track where "I Need a Dollar" vocalist Aloe Blacc gets thrown in a synthetic Mumford & Sons surrounding for something very non-"Levels." It's a strange jumble that works, but even more surprising is the seductive "Addicted to You," where Oklahoma singer/songwriter Audra Mae gets sultry on a song co-written by country and pop legend Mac Davis, and don't wonder long about how the results ended up sounding so Nina Simone, because the curve balls keep coming. Adam Lambert reins in his glam tactics on the Nile Rodgers-assisted "Lay Me Down" for a disco and Daft Punk swerve, while the kinetic down-on-the-farm "Shame on Me" offers a knee-slapping, EDM-meets-country rave-up that threatens to go hambone with a solo on the spoons. Country music and bluegrass keep winding their way into the album, and while it rarely smacks of a gimmick, these rustic numbers often evolve into EDM around their drum machine-introducing choruses, as if True was a remix album commission Avicii picked up while vacationing in Appalachia. In the end, it's an admirable and interesting effort where the highs offset the lows, but those with molly in hand and dancing shoes on feet should just cool their jets and get ready to sit a spell.

Tim Bergling (8 September 1989 – 20 April 2018), known professionally as Avicii, was a Swedish DJ, remixer, and record producer. He began posting remixes on electronic music forums at age 16, which led to his first record deal. He gained international recognition in 2011 with the single "Levels". His debut studio album, "True" (2013), combined electronic music with elements of multiple genres and received generally positive reviews, reaching the top 10 in over 15 countries and topping several international charts. The lead single, "Wake Me Up", achieved widespread commercial success, reaching number one in most European countries and number four in the United States.
In 2015, Avicii released his second studio album, "Stories", followed by the extended play "Avīci (01)" in 2017. His discography includes singles such as "I Could Be the One" with Nicky Romero, "You Make Me", "X You", "Hey Brother", "Addicted to You", "The Days", "The Nights", "Waiting for Love", "Without You", "Lonely Together", and "SOS". He was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Sunshine" with David Guetta in 2012 and for "Levels" in 2013. Avicii is credited by several music publications as one of the DJs who helped bring electronic music into mainstream Top 40 radio during the early 2010s.
Bergling retired from touring in 2016 due to stress and mental health challenges. He died by suicide in 2018 while on holiday in Muscat, Oman. His third and final album, "Tim", was released posthumously in 2019.
