Dat synth-horn break.
ABBA's new wave-inspired final LP "The Visitors" is one of my favorite albums of the 80s. Often referred as being "arty" or "tense," it's a record full of near perfect pop music, character sketches and expansive synthesizer soundscapes. One of the best tracks on the album is its opening title track, a protest against the mistreatment of political dissidents in the Soviet Union.
This is the best unsung ABBA track. Rad as balls.
have kinda become obsessed with this recently. production is purty stunning...
1981.

A dark song about a dissident waiting to be arrested and taken away. Abba were in a difficult place when they made their last album, you can hear it. This is the title track and one I never get tired of
