is a mix I put together recently. It's got a 90s/electro funk feel to it. Something fun to bounce around to. RAAAWWWRRR! |

In the early nineties, during a game of "Geni" (it's similar to Trivial Pursuit) I was given the question: What kind of music does the group The New Kids On The Block play? I failed to produce the right answer but all the players were baffled by the answer: Acid Rock |

The first single, "Be My Girl" received minor airplay around the group's native Boston, but failed to capture nationwide attention. The album's second single, "Stop It Girl," fared even worse. Subsequently, New Kids on the Block wound up flopping. Starr remained diligent and persuaded the label to allow the group to record a second album. (Note: Though a commercial failure upon its original release, 'New Kids on the Block' would eventually go triple platinum, in response to the group's later popularity.) 1988-1989: Hangin' Tough After the failure of the first album, Starr had the group back in the studio for most of 1987 and 1988 recording their second album. The album's first single was "Please Don't Go Girl," a ballad released in spring 1988. Failure seemed destined a second time when the song became another that went unnoticed by the listening public, and Columbia Records made plans to drop the New Kids from the label. At the eleventh hour, however, a radio station in Florida began playing the song. Scoring listener approval, it soon became the most requested song on their play list. When Columbia caught wind of the positive response, they decided to keep the group on its roster and put more effort into promoting the single. National attention soon followed and it eventually climbed to #10 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart—becoming the group's first hit. |

They toured the clubs of Sweden with their new self-written material, techno inspired by the likes of The KLF and Snap!. Johnny left the group in 1989. Niklas made his departure known by failing to appear at a gig at the Bältesspännarparken on 6 August 1990; he preferred to attend a Rolling Stones concert on the other side of town.[2] Jonas asked his friend Ulf Ekberg to stand in for Niklas. The new quartet sought a new name to make a fresh start; Linn was reported saying: "No one could pronounce the name of the group and nobody could remember it". They settled on Ace of Base, because they were the "masters of their studio", the basement of a car-repair shop.[3] However the band continued to struggle to gain any recognition, partly due to the preference of heavy metal over techno in their home town, according to singer Jenny.[4] In 1991 they responded to a newspaper ad by producer John Ballard who was looking for new talent. He was somewhat unsure about their potential, but did pass them on to Klas Lunding at Telegram Records who helped them record an early demo for the song "Wheel Of Fortune" in their newly renovated studio. But it did not convince Telegram to sign the band. International success But it was another song that was to help Ace of Base's career take off internationally. After hearing Swedish top 20 hit "Another Mother" by Kayo, the band decided that was exactly the sound they wanted to create.[7] They contacted the song's producer Denniz PoP and sent him a demo of a track called "Mr Ace". The song became "All That She Wants", a unique dark fusion of dub-reggae with pop which became the band's trademark sound |
