ABBA is releasing its first new music in four decades, along with a concert performance that will see the "Dancing Queen" quartet going entirely digital. The forthcoming album "Voyage," to be released Nov. 5, is a follow-up to 1981`s "The Visitors," which until now had been the swan song of the Swedish supergroup. And a virtual version of the band will begin a series of concerts in London on May 27. "We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we`ve decided it`s time to end it," ABBA said in a statement Thursday.

"They say it`s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we`ve recorded a follow-up to `The Visitors.`" The group has been creating the live show with George Lucas` special-effects company, Industrial Light & Magic. They say the virtual versions of themselves are "weird and wonderful," and go beyond holograms. "It was suggested to us that we could go on tour as a hologram. And this is now four, five years ago," Björn Ulvaeus, ABBA`s 76-year-old guitarist, backup singer and co-songwriter said at a news conference Thursday. "And we found out very soon that that wasn`t even possible because holograms is an old technology, but I mean, the vision was there of having our digital selves, that even was a possibility."
