Linda Jane Bull did an awesome job with this ABBA track.She(?) trimmed all the fuss and the extra-sweet pop elements from the original version and spared one single loop only, but what a loop! This is a wonderful edit full of flange and reverb: the end-result is really dubby and cosmic.

I’ve stumbled upon this piece of music full of 70s arpeggios quite by surprise on The Red Room. And it is fairly good.
I believe this soundtrack is only used for a short sequence (and possibly the end title) of La Ragazza Dal Pigiama Giallo, but I must admit I’ve never watched this giallo so these are only speculations.
