A Band

A is for audible

Since I'm only listening to A artists/bands these next two weeks I needed to add to my collection. Ace of Base came to mind immediately, because they are awesome. Sure, I've heard the groundbreaking The Sign and even own it on CD, but what about the others? The lesser known Ace of Base albums. Were there any others? I needed to find out, so I went to the interwebs to search, but I got impatient and lazy and just started downloading. Turns out there are others. In an attempt to obtain Ace of Base's discography I acquired 392 songs by them spanning over 30 albums. Who knew these Swedes were such prolific musicians. Well, no one, because they aren't. Most of the songs are singles with remixes and club mixes and the must-have instrumental karaoke versions of songs from their actual albums (of which there are only four) and the completely unnecessary acoustic versions, but iTunes doesn't give a shit. If it has a different name, different album art, hell, even if it doesn't have any album art and has the same name but one letter is capitalized it puts it as a completely different album. So it looks like I love Ace of Base (and Ace Of Base, also Ase of Base since some people can't spell), which isn't entirely untrue. Do I need all of these Ace of Base mixes, remixes, house mixes, club mixes, extended versions, single versions, house of joy club mix, club bump mix, acoustic versions and radio edits? No, not at all. Will I listen to them? Hell yes. Will I sing along? Probably. I might even carry this into the next two weeks...base starts with B, and, you know, Ace has a C in it...
