Gemini (Gemini Album)
''Gemini'' is an album by Gemini released in 1985. Produced by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anders Glenmark, the album features songwriting contributions from Andersson, Ulvaeus, Glenmark and Ingela Forsman. The album peaked at No. 9 on Sverigetopplistan in November 1985. Two songs were of particular interest: "Slowly", a song written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, was previously recorded by ABBA's Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad and the unreleased ABBA song " Just Like That" was re-written and included on this LP. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus contend that the inclusion of this new version of "Just Like That" means that the ABBA version cannot be released, saying that there can't be two official versions of a song with the same title that are so similar and yet so different. Track listing All songs written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus except where indicated. #"Slowly" – 4:26 #"Too Much Love Is Wasted" – 3:28 #"Slow Emotion" – 4:12 #" Just Like Tha ...

Just Like That (song)
"Just Like That" is originally an unreleased song by ABBA from 1982, and written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. The first official release of the song (in any form) is by Swedish brother and sister duo Gemini ( Karin and Anders Glenmark), on their album ''Gemini'' (1985), produced by Benny and Björn with Anders Glenmark, and released as a 1986 single. Gemini's version is heavily rewritten compared to the ABBA original, with a slower arrangement and completely different verses. The ABBA version has not been released officially. Recorded in 1982, as a track for a forthcoming ABBA album, Benny and Björn decided something was inherently 'wrong' with the track (verse and melody didn't match), and the track was discarded. When the album plans were cancelled in 1982, it was decided instead to release a compilation with two new singles. The new tracks on '' The Singles'' turned out to be ''The Day Before You Came'' and ''Under Attack'', while ''Just Like That'' didn't even become ...

Chess (musical)
''Chess'' is a musical with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, lyrics by Ulvaeus and Tim Rice, and book by Rice. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American and the other Soviet, and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other. Although the protagonists were not intended to represent any real individuals, the character of the American grandmaster (named Freddie Trumper in the stage version) was loosely based on Bobby Fischer, while elements of the story may have been inspired by the chess careers of Russian grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov. ''Chess'' allegorically reflected the Cold War tensions present in the 1980s. The musical has been referred to as a metaphor for the whole Cold War, with the insinuation being made that the Cold War is itself a manipulative game. Released and staged at the height of the strong anti-communist agenda tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
