Definitive Audiophile pressings

With these lyrics while also hanging in skinhead circles? You gotta do more than regret them later for me to believe they are a good person. Especially when they say you learned from it and don't want to talk about it.

Of all the people to go to bat for and defend on the internet today in 2024, I'm surprised to learn its the neonazi from Ace of Base.

Ace of Base's Secret Nazi Past

Before he founded Ace of Base, Ulf Ekberg was a neo-Nazi skinhead. Did Ekberg use Ace of Base's success as an opportunity to erase his neo-Nazi past and rise to a position of geopolitical influence?

Lol… I was very confused by Ben Shapiro writing about music. That’s an unfortunate coincidence.

It’s too busy at work for me to find the links but there are several interviews over the years where modern bands cite their synth structures as influences for their music. One that comes to mind is TR/ST. You can hear it in every song on this album:



There’s a paper trail for their influence.

I mean, just because one is referenced in a lot of pop and synth music doesn’t equate their contributions. The only band that I can think of that is as (and probably more) important than Joy Division/New Order from a synth perspective is Kraftwerk. When Hannett convinced them to add keyboards, the band pretty much birthed new wave and 80s pop as we know it. (Yes those that want to nit, Costello and the Cars and few dozen other bands were also at the forefront of that music, but you know what I’m saying - it was a definitive turn in the music.) That is several magnitudes of importance higher than Lady Gaga being a big fan and referencing Ace of Base’s music or synth bands that are obscure using their stuff.

I’m not defending anyone. There’s a shit load of articles out there adding the needed nuance here. I asked for a record and now I’m more or less being implicated as a support of Nazism. So that’s fun.

Gonna say me piece here then be done with this because it's getting to me on a personal level.

I have the triangle tattooed on my body, the one Nazis branded on queer folks. My dad's side of the family is from Germany (like from from, dad was born there not I'm a quarter of a tenth of a sixteenth German). it's not implausible that in a past life I'd have been branded the pink triangle in a less optimal way. We are internet strangers, we don't know each other, but I'm giving you some context to say that the tone of more or less calling me a defender of Neo-Nazism is not cool and I'm asking you to stop.

That's all I'm saying, not commenting on this bullshit anymore.
