Format:Audio CD
This album marks something of a transition for A-Ha, moving away from the 80's synthesized sound into something more moody. But don't be scared, it will grow on you! There's a nice mix of tracks, demonstrating Morten Harket's great vocal range - from the atmospheric 'East of the sun' to the beautiful '(Seemingly) Nonstop July'. It also features a rare outing for Magne Furuholmen on lead vocals in the short but sweet 'The Way We Talk', worth buying the album for that alone, I think!

If your reading this then you must know a little about a-ha.But the most who only know Take on me then this will make you realise a-ha should have been far bigger.Everything fits on this album and maybe one day soon they will produce an album again with the quality of recording this album had and thats not just in musical content.You can hear everything,piano,guitar and of course one of the finest vocalists thats ever lived.

I've been an admittedly closet fan of A-ha since 1985 and this is the best album to date. It showcases a more mature band than the general public will remember and is all the better for it. Their cover of Crying in the Rain is dignified and a Doors-y feel runs throughout the album, significantly on Sycamore Trees and the awesome title track. Go on buy it and give your ears the treat they deserve.

A 'pivotal' point in A-Ha's career.
This was the time when A-Ha took an 'odd' turn in their career; their Singles would no longer have the same impact upon the charts (a couple of my personal favourites 'Early... Read more
