Aqua - Aquarium

One of my favorite albums

I love this album. When I first bought it a few years ago I couldn't put it down. Although with the title song Barbie Girl it was a little embarrassing to purchase. But I love the Scandinavian sound reminiscent of Army of Lovers, Doctor Alban, and Ace of Base. And the play between the two vocalists hasn't been this good since the Sugarcubes, of course in a different way. But most of the songs are good there are a couple that fall a little flat but this album comes highly recommended. June 25, 2008

Aquamania

I first got this product in 1997 in audio cassette form. Only now has the cassette mal-functioned so I bought the CD. I was amazed at the difference in the quality. The songs sound so much better and alot more vibrant. If you have the cassette version I recommend buying the CD version very highly. April 18, 2008

Good

This product got here promptly in good condition. The CD was not scratched or anything. The CD case was broken, but it looked as though it broke during shipping. Overall it was a great price, and came quickly. April 10, 2008

AQUA

Aqua is a Danish dance group, best known for their 1997 breakthrough single "Barbie Girl". The group formed in 1989, and achieved huge success across the world in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although often criticised by the media, the group managed to top the UK Singles Chart with their first three singles, few artists have achieved that. The group released two albums, Aquarium in 1997 and Aquarius in 2000, they split up in July 2001. The group sold an estimated 28.7 million albums and singles.

In their prime, Aqua made singles chart top ten in a number of countries where European Dance acts would not normally succeed, including the USA, Australia and Japan. The group also caused controversy with the double entendres in their song "Barbie Girl", with the Barbie doll company Mattel filing a lawsuit against the group. The lawsuit was rejected in 2002.

The group consisted of Lene Nystrøm, René Dif, Søren Rasted, and Claus Norreen. All the members were Danish except Lene, who was Norwegian. Since their 2001 split, Lene, René and Søren have all achieved solo chart success, and Claus has continued to work in the music industry remixing other artists' material. Aqua's album Aquarium is very upbeat and very fun Dance Music.
