ABBA - Just Like That (Matt Mix 2011 remaster)

Perhaps the best song ABBA never finished. Well, they finished it later for Gemini, but that version can't really compare to the magic snippet of the ABBA original demo that was released as part of the outtakes compilation ABBA Undeleted on their 1995 box set Thank You For The Music.
There are leaked versions of ABBA's demos where Agnetha sings whole verses, and the famous La La La (or Na Na Na) bit, where she seems to be just improvising a melody. Those La la la's form the basis of the lead synth melody in my mix :)

Hey Mr Matt, this is again a masterpiece, although I prefer your 5.31 (longer version) with the lalala’s in it.

But every ABBA track you touch makes me so happy, makes me cry and makes me happy again!! Thank you for the music/remix.

I have a question Mr Matt, do you also have the instrumental track of this/your 5.31 track? I ‘ve written some duch lyrics to it and maybe you know somebody who can sing them?

Alvast bedankt Gr Martin uit Heemskerk

Thank you for the kind comments, very nice to see how ABBA music lives on. I decided not to use my extended "Lalala" remix anymore because it features the verses that were never officially released.

And sorry - can't help you with the instrumental version. My instrumentation is too integrated with the original track, it is a delicate balance that wouldn't work without the ABBA elements.

Anyway I consider this to be one of the most "value added" remixes of any ABBA song.

[stefancev]

Having heard the different demos and the lousy gemini version, I can say that your remix is great!

You should have included Agnetha's "Na na na", but I understand you want to diminish the risk to be shut down again.

Also you should have skipped the sax (an instrument good for slow jazz, but it makes pop songs sound like the crappy American shit that took over after the golden European New Wave period 1979-1982). Abba should not have used it either.

I don't normally like these things, but this is brilliant!!! Why hasn't someone covered this professionally and released it! They could use your ideas here as inspiration!!

@discogareth That's me, alright! Hello!

[discogareth]

@capslock286 Hi there! I'm sure I recognise your username Capslock from the old ABBASite forum years ago. Is it you? If so Hello again!

[Twentenaar1965]

@rustag21375 Abba are toppers, but she gives a good addition as matt mix mixes in this time, as further number remains.Therefore, my compliments for him:-)

[rustag21375]
