Rating: - Amazing record with a couple clunkers...
This record really surprised me... I have always loved Hunting High & Low but never looked further into their career... Strangely, the first 6 songs could be any band's dream-start to a "best of"... then there is a song that sounds like a completely different band... "Over The Treetops" sounds more like Neil Young or The Jayhawks and throws the cohesive feel off quite a bit... this is then followed by an amazingly bad song, "Halfway Through The Tour"... but then... back to amazing songs with ...

Rating: - Song from the Analogue era!
I've been an a-ha fan since the first time I heard "Take On Me" on the radio. I have bought and thoroughly enjoyed each song on every album these guys have made. Except this one. Who's idea was it to make a CD with half the album dedicated to reliving the 60's. At any moment I was expecting the next track to be "White Rabbit". These songs could have easily been sung with the a-ha chemisty we all know and love. But the psychedelic channeling of John Lennon, Jim Morrison, and Grace Slick just doesn't ... Read More
Rating: - another great sound experimentation for a-ha in the new century
Luis Mejia (son)- I don't wonder why I always mention A-ha among people they look back in the 80's and sing Take On Me in their heads, but come on, they're still young and they're stil singing! I can say that Analogue shocked me a little bit, and I won't exagerate saying that the've always been geniuses but the word for this album is "exeptional". It's also the first time that I've heard the term "alternative pop" in my life.
Talking about the songs, it seems that A-ha takes always a little ... Read More
Rating: - Very good
It took me a few listen-throughs, but I really have come to appreciate this album. The title track, "Analogue," would be an excellent candidate for mainstream radio.
Rating: - An album to listen to very closely ...
A-ha has always had their own unique style, raging from the poetic illusionism or at times romantic impressionism. They were once a group with a potential for very dramatic dynamics (Morten's being at his pick with a unique operatic voice as one can recall in songs like "The Sun always shine on TV"). At such, many of their recent albums had the feeling that they've were trying hard to regain this market audience. But through the years their sound changed more to a somber, at times decadent and obscure ... Read More
