| Ace of Base - The Sign Band: Ace of Base A debut with power! Ace of Base's debut effort, The Sign, is probably the best of the nineties. Aside from selling 21 million copies around the globe, and from being the #1 album of 1994, it is Truly creative. From the opening track "All That She Wants" that includes the feel of Jamaican beaches and features their signature reggae-pop beats, it is a non-stop tour of Euro-dance and reggae-pop! "Don't Turn Around" is a powerful lost-love song that echoes with Linn's dramatic vocals and Jenny's heartbreaking back-ups. "Wheel of Fortune", "Living In Danger", "Dancer in a Daydream", "Happy Nation"- these are the album's best tracks. The Bangrha version of "ATSW" could have done better off of the CD, maybe replaced with one of their European tracks, like "Hear Me Calling", and the 7" Remix of "Waiting for Magic" totally kills the original version of the song that is on the European album (The original version of "WFM" is very good). The standout song is the title track, "The Sign", which is a fun, poppy song that, aside from being their biggest hit, is a meaningful track that Brings life to to the whole record. This is the best album of the decade, so GET IT! Ace Of Base's Best CD Ace of Base's debut CD "The Sign" is their best album to date and remains one of My Favorite CDs of all time. The pop hits "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around", and "All That She Wants" are here, but that doesn't mean the rest of the album is trash. Unlike many artists who seem that only their hits are the only thing worthwhile off an album, "The Sign" keeps the beat grooving in songs like "Happy Nation", "Waiting For Magic", and "Living in Danger", and "Dancer in a Daydream". Personally I think all the songs are downright awesome except "Young and Proud". Impressed with the first, I bought their second album, "The Bridge", and was thoroughly unimpressed. If you liked these early hits from Ace of Base, I can guarentee that you'll like the vibes of "The Sign". A real essential recording in a modern pop collection. The best of the best! :) I appreciate a variety of music, and I can safely say to you that this is Not dumb, brainless, forgettable, OR Cheesy pop. It is now looked down upon by numerous people who think it must be "euro-fluff" or "uncool" or all those other words...Ace of Base is still going as a band, and this is one of their finest albums, of all their history of superb music.<BR>It is also a classic of the ninetees. It's fun, danceable, engaging, and memorable pop music of the best class. There may be similarities, but they are Not immitating Abba, as many would like to say. They have their own sound, which surprisingly never gets old, and sounds fresh to this day.<BR>Along with major hits like All That She Wants, Don't Turn Around, and The Sign, this album is a goldmine of nonstop greatness. Songs like "Wheel Of Fortune", "Waiting For Magic", and "Dancer In A Daydream" along with more groovy techno such as "Young And Proud", is sure to have something for everyone.<BR>Buy it as soon as you can, and discover the joy! :) Buy Ace Of Base The Sign at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.comJamster - the latest ringtones for your phone! |
