The music of Ace of Base (yes, even "The Golden Ratio" album) has brought me so much joy during this difficult year 2020. Their music lifts you. Their music does not rely on sex, violence, swearing, politics, controversy, boasting, etc... It is just awesome to have that break from the world. I wish I discovered their music sooner. I feel good when I listen to Ace of Base. Sending love from Canada. Blessings!

I give Ace of Base the fact that they were the first dance-pop group to take the vocal sensibilities (although simplified) of the pop music of Abba, and the cadence and irregularity of backbeat of reggae, mixed through a Caribbean- out of Ibiza techno electro Pop, and took it to the masses in a way that's never been done before.. or.. never had been done, at least not till that point. I'm not a fan boy, but I can give props to Ace of base in the way, that although they were very popular at the time, they didn't come out from a popular genre, or were bandwagon by the numbers, or had their songs written for them (spice girls) by a bunch of industry professionals. They did their thing, wrote their music and mostly produced it themselves, and while it was never the coolest music of all time, for a moment.. in 1994 it was the mainstream that followed Ace of Base, and then, the imitations started and then their music didn't sound so cutting edge. But you got to give it to them, that they made their own music that no one else was doing quite like them, and they managed to become the most popular band in the world for almost a year or so. Image helps, but I honestly don't see anything about Ace of Base, as way too manufactured as like.. for example... the Spice Girls... And yeah by 1996 this kind of music became what manufactured pop sounded like, but in 1993 "all that she wants" sounded like nothing else on Earth.. and by the time "The Sign" hit with it's impeccable, excellent pop sugar rush, it was inevitable that the masses would fall in line behind Ace of Base

Ace of Base was the fekin shit back in the early-mid 90's. Everyone I knew had a copy of The Sign. I had it on cassette and wore it out and later purchased it on CD. Their sound was so fresh and unique and every song on The Signe album is amazing same with The Bridge. I had a poster of the band on my wall, and I use to... well let's just say I was in love with the Jenny and Linn haha. Im 43 now and I still listen to them as I have their albums on my iPhone. Hands down just the best group of musicians from the 90's and I get such a great feeling of happy nostalgia when I listen to them.
