Ace of Base

Dance-pop
Dance-popPopSynth-pop

Ace of Base is a Dance-pop and Pop act. Their catalogue also touches Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Motörhead, Max Martin, Petra Marklund, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) and Clive Davis. Those roots explain a lot about how Ace of Base arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as 2 Unlimited, Real McCoy, E-Type, Mr. President and Whigfield, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Real McCoy, Captain Jack, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Tom Aspaul, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 49 connections around Ace of Base, reaching back through Motörhead and forward to Real McCoy.
