Numma 4: "Abba Are Time Travellers"

Abba are Time Travellers. I belive that Abba are Time Travellers, because the music they have created is the closest humans have come to perfection. I am a long time Abba fan, no shame...no shame here sir. But this is deeper. I think their master plan hatched something along the lines of...

Two guys Benny and Bjorn back in the 60's. Bjorn says to Benny,

"let's create a Time Travel machine"

"Something that can wrap space in on itself?" says Benny, his rich brown locks flowing.

"Yes" Replies Bjorn

"But why?" Says Benny, His mouth full, enjoying a plate of smoky but rich Swedish Cheese

"Because i want to create a supergroup, using the best songs that are going to be made in the next 100 years to come, then travel back to present time, now, then use them as our own" Replies Bjorn...stroking his combed beard.

They get in, and travel forward through time from 1960 for the next 100 years, stealing the best music from the future. Copy it, copy its melody, sound, and they do this until they have a body of perfect songs, taken from hit artists of the future no one has of course heard yet.

They then, stop, to eat some MORE delicious Swedish cheese, then travel BACK to the 1960's. They use their body of stolen no1's from the future, no one would have heard, and then proceed to make a career from their stolen..tracks...

Erm...

There's no other way Abba can be so perfect. Abba are NEAR-PERFECT as a Music Outfit. The melodies the music, the passion, the songs. No group can have so many perfect songs. Now, i'm a maturing gent, approaching my 30's quicker than i'd like. Part of gettin old i'm finding out is going back, and listening to the stuff you used to hate your parents playing, but now i realise why they played it. Over...and over...

I would quite happily fist fight anyone who disagrees that musically, Abba are near perfect. It's not so much the songs on their own, its the AMOUNT of songs that hit throughout each album. It's too many, and it's too perfect...so i suspect they were up to something, and i'm thinking it was Time Travel.

"Super Trouper (Trooper)" Is a burst of multi coloured flashing skittles...that's what i see when i hear that song. I see the Colours of the song.

"Chiquitita" Tears in my eyes...real grown man crying right in front of you. Arms extending for a much needed hug. That's what happens when i hear this actual fucking perfect music. And it goes on and on...

These guys must be Time Travellers. Beatles is cool, all of that, cool cool, but the pure mechanically constructed mathematical preciscion of songs that hit just the right spots are just too perfect with Abba. No band has come close to even touching the beauty...

Or...maybe they are from Heaven??

"Dancing Queen" Yes...She can glide indeed my friends. She can glide indeed. This song plays, i fly into a whirling paint swirl of Disco Lights, a young (18 above) girl in my arms swirling, we are so happy, smiling laughing, so many colours...then the chorus...ah..it twists my stomach. Once again, too perfect too consistent.

"Thank You For The Music" No, thank YOU for the music my long haired friends. Listen to this song, the construction. I'm not even going to say no more. These guys are space travellers, they have stolen perfect songs from the future, returned to the sixties and then used them as their own. No sheer amount of perfect songs can come from one Band...

"Gimme Gimme Gimme" Wow...could this be the best song ever? More than likely. Disagree?? er one word...hut hum, only Madonna. The most sucessful female singer ever (google that and find out if it's true for me) she loved it. "Gimme" hits again on so many levels, the melody, the riff, the electro wailing, the strumming, its just pin point perfect as music. It's like it twangs and tweaks every single pleasure spot of the brain...

Is it just me who feels this when he listens to Abba? Perhaps i'm going mentally insane?

Abba music is as if...well, almost as if machines were programmed to create music that would be perfect to the human ear...machines automatically reading the brains patterns, waves, what works, what makes humans tick and then producing the said music for consumption, yeh machines...cyborgs?? Perhaps Abba are mechanical creations? made by a global corporation to dominate Music!

......30 years ago.

Abba could very easily be the greatest band of all time, i knew it 25 years ago when my mum BURNED them into my brain 24/7 as a kid. But rediscovering their perfection, has to be honest...left me with a tear in my eye. I want to spread the word and tell the youngsters like myself, to go back and dig through...

Get on lime wire and get these songs, burn them to a CD in the order below...press play, and see God himself in front of you. Abba...
