A-HA - 1985 - 2022 (4 ALBUMS)
"HUNTING HIGH AND LOW" 1985 TAKE ON ME - The band's debut album opens with the classic 80s track and unmistakeable Synth Pop intro. Loved this song instantly on first listen and was then hooked on A-ha and Morten Harket's incredible vocal range. The track finally charted after a couple of attempts and reached number 2 in the UK charts. Its accompanying video was groundbreaking using animated and live action scenes sequenced together. A masterpiece. TRAIN OF THOUGHT - The third UK single release and reached number 8 in the chart and was their third successive top ten hit. This has a typical Synth Pop fast paced drumbeat with a surprisingly slow tempo vocal by Morten, showing off his complete range in the song. It grows on you after a couple of listens. HUNTING HIGH AND LOW - A beautiful slow minimal ballad reaching an anthemic, operatic crescendo to finish. Great emotionally charged vocals and a captivating backing. THE BLUE SKY - At just over two and a half
