Day 0549 - Hunting High and Low

A-Ha "Hunting High and Low" (1985)


You could be forgiven for thinking that this Norwegian pop group found fame solely based on one hit, a pretty singer, and high rotation of a music video using the aforementioned hit and singer.

This album though is so much more than just "Take on me" and Morten Harket's beautiful, beautiful face.  Gorgeous new-romantic synth pop sounds abound.  There are some sections that almost border on orchestral/operatic, while in others it's simple, upbeat power pop.

A strong album, with only one or two slightly more 'filler-esque' tracks.
