Shout it out proud RB!

I know you're a fan of DATA and playing 'Elegant Machinery' the other day, it came to me that if Abba had released another album and carried on going in the direction that The Visitors pointed to, and clubbed it up a bit, then it would have sounded rather like 'Elegant Machinery'

In fact, with songs such as 'The Visitors', 'Under Attack', 'Head Over Heels', and 'I Am The City', Abba should get a mention in the Forgotten Synth Bands thread.

Abba's use of synths dates way back to 1974 when they used a Minimoog on SOS.

They were usually always in there buried in the mix.

One of my later favourites was the day before you came.Yes they are one of the unknown forgotten synthbands

I'm happy for you lads , but at the risk of being like the little boy pointing at the naked King the initial magic of listening to the above on vinyl will never be surpassed ! NO tarting up will enhance them for me at least

Having said which Membs if you want to burn me jarg copies of The Minds boxset , you know my address !
