After ABBA called it quits and Björn & Benny continued making music together obviously they wanted someone to sing the songs. Anders & Karin Glenmark who were main backing vocalists in original Chess and both had already worked with the guys sounded right and Gemini was born. The first self titled album Gemini was released in 1985 with its lead single Just like that, an old then unreleased ABBA track. Unfortunately it failed across Europe and the other songs didn't do any better, Slowly (previously released by Frida), Slow emotion and very ABBA-like Another you, another me. However in 1987 second album was released titled Geminism with songs like TLC and Mio my mio, but they still didn't make it and concentrated on their solo projects. In 2005 they released a compilation album with unreleased tracks like When I close my eyes, Swedish version of Too much love is wasted, Den som sa det var det and Kall som is from Melodifestivalen 1984. In 2006 they released a Christmas album as Glenmark & Glenmark. ABBA & Gemini was fantastic and I remember being a huge fan. Shame they never made it, what a waste of this combination of fine voices!
