a-ha
This post is a simple 'thank you' to Pal, Mags and Morton.
I remember the first time that I heard 'Take On Me' and then listening to Radio Luxembourg til the early hours of the morning just waiting for their next play of the follow up 'The Sun Always Shines On T.V.'. Now I have their new material 'Analogue' on my iPod, I'm pleased to report that it's a classic!
I have developed a system of defining my *classic* albums. A classic album has to have 5 five star rated songs, so 'Analogue' is up there with 'Scoundrel Days' and 'Hunting High and Low'.
Listening now to 'Living A Boy's Adventure Tale', 1985 seems like only a heartbeat away . . . I'm always amazed at the power of music.

Good man! I was going to do an a-ha post. As you're aware both Aline and I love a-ha and they're a favourite with our unborn baby too. Hunting High & Low was my first ever album purchase and it's a true classic without a doubt. Ironically I was whistling Hunting High & Low earlier today and Aline said "wow I've been singing that song all morning..."
a-ha are a testament to creativity. Like all great bands they've stayed the course because they combine great musical ability with creativity and determination.

Hunting High & Low was the first CD I ever bought . . . Nice to think that a-ha have launched a new CD in the year of the birth of your baby! Now whenever you listen to ‘Birthright’ it will remind you of this special year. :)
