Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

After a seven-year absence during which the Norwegian pop trio went off to paint or record solo albums, A-Ha return with Minor Earth Major Sky, their sixth studio album. Recorded in New York over the course of a year, this one is filled with characteristically subtle melodies, sweeping pop production, and a haunting melancholy. Some tracks (like the winsome "Sun Never Shone That Day") border on the bland, but there are songs that have bite--such as the icy, William Orbit-style ballad "Little Black Heart"; the big, blowsy title track; and the satirical "The Company Man," where the band sing frankly of being ripped off by their record label ("Deals fell into our arms / And out of our hands"). There's also a nod to the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" in the epic, socially conscious ballad "Mary Ellen Makes the Moment Count." --Lucy O'Brien

A great return of A-ha, a sound like a Est to the Sun West to the Moon but best, especially "Summer moved on"

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best come-back albums ever, July 19, 2000

By	Peter Sapira (Burlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews

A-ha has a gem in Morten Harket whose voice seems to get better with age. The song writing is poignant, lush and perfectly crafted. This is definitely one of my favorite CD's in years.
