Damn! Can anyone provide english subtitles? I really want to know about Cheiron! I love their work!

Thank you for putting up all this stuff on Cheiron Productions and the people behind it. I've been missing info on this fascinating era of pop music.

If denniz were still alive, we'd have that funk-euro pop sound going on.

[Beauty4Aspies]

@BASSER81 Oh yes it is, then it won't be long until the cheiron sound returns.

Once again it is clearly visible that the critics are idiots. They have absolutely no clue. Have you ever heard one of these critics explain WHY he thinks the song was not good or why a song he praises were good? No.

The Denniz Pop or Max Martin songs are very well composed songs, with beautiful melodies, perfect arrangements and a fantastic produced sound.

Just like ABBA.

Eternal european pop music.

A fantastic DJ, producer & songwriter, but first and foremost a WONDERFUL person!! We still miss you, Dagge...

What an interesting documentary. I have allways been curious about what and who was behind Ace of base. It is very interesting too to listen to the critic, and his point of view. Apparently swedish critics were as harsh with Abba in the 70´s as they were with Ace of base in the 90´s... and the music of both groups are still around... I wonder who was and is right... Thanks for posting

@neetrab Damn rite!

[neetrab]

I kind of missed something. Why did the swedish people say that this was like a slap to their face? In other words... why did they hate Ace of Base SOOOOOOO much?? Just cause they weren't getting 22 mill on THEIR debut album doesn't mean they have to rain on someone else's parade.

[neetrab]

@rnbsteenstar - haha! when i saw this video, I was thinking the very same thing. I was thinking... "Well, let me remember this label because i will NOT sign with them.." LOL!

[Anotherblackseason]

I'll take 22 million copies sold and the critics can have lunch on me!

[Deadq]

and Lucky Love would serve as there biggest hit in sweden

[BASSER81]

Ace Of Base's sound is getting used a lot lately Ive noticed....I mean check out Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" that is pure Ace of base but in today's sound!
