ACE OF BASE
Originally known as Tech Noir, the Swedish pop foursome Ace of Base consists of sisters/vocalists Jenny and Malin Berggren, brother/keyboardist Jonas Berggren and songwriter/keyboardist Ulf Ekberg. The quartet started gigging at local clubs in 1990 and by 1992, their single "Wheel of Fortune," had become a hit in Scandinavia, leading to a contract with German-based Metronome Records. With Arista Records distributing and MTV exposing, Ace of Base became a household name in the United States when they released 1993's smash success The Sign. When the album debuted in 1993, their jumpy triple bass sound was widely received by radio stations and club-mongers alike, earning them a place in the Top 10 pop charts on three different occasions for "The Sign", "All That She Wants" and "Don't Turn Around." Ultimately, the group sold over eight million copies of The Sign in America alone. 1995 saw the release of their second album, The Bridge. In 1998 Ace of Base released Cruel Summer.
