ace of base
swedish super export of the 90s, though hardly the new abba. started out very dancey with techno thumping beats, then saw the sign and moved on to some more lilting, cod reggae pop. but never quite let go of the thumping beats, they appear on an album as late as 95, the bridge. in a way i wish they had just stuck to their new sound and abandoned that thumping, it's a musical dead end and their shot at immortality was over. but you can get a nice concentrate in the comp, though some deep cuts might be worth seeking the original albums for, penny albums they are, so money should not be an issue. conclusion: there will never be another abba, and even eric gadd made much better music. ace of base - hardly ace!
