| | A-Ha Analogue CD - Import A-Ha Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
International pressing of their 2005 album for Universal. 13 tracks in all including the first single, 'Celice'. Quite possibly their best album since their commercial heyday, Morten, Magne and Pal remain true to their unique sound, yet also allow modern technology and mature moods to creep into the music. Not as dramatic and softly atmospheric as their recent releases, 'Analogue' delivers great songs and outstanding vocals from Morten. Universal. Analogue Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Well... what can I say?..
I couldn't expect anything worse from A-ha than that album. I used to love them, but "Analogue" is deffinately not A-ha I used to love!

a-ha does it again!
Analogue is perhaps A-ha's most soulful album. the music is haunting & disturbed but with a deliverance of hope & peace, especially on the ballads, instrumentally, which is enhanced by Morten's voice. A great blend and merge of both sounds. The most richly sounding music of all their albums and by far the most mature. Many of the songs are a continuation of Lifelines, but with more indepth sounds. Just a masterpiece in lyrics. Some weaker songs in the middle of the album, but all made up by the balance of the album. Some great songs are: Analogue, Birthright, Holy Ground, Cosy Prison, White Dwarf and Celice. Perfect for a-ha fans, and even better for non fans who want an introduction into great music. A-ha no longer carries the naive, immature sound which is heard at times (memorial beach, stay on these roads). One of their best. 1 Scoundrel Days (by far the best & most underrated), 2 Hunting High and Low (obvious reasons), 3 Minor Earth (great comeback), 4 Analogue (most mature), 5 Lifelines (could have been #4), 6 East of the sun, 7 Stay on these roads, 8 Memorial Beach (aside from 1st 4 songs, the rest are forgettable). I highly recommend picking up Analogue.

Since 1984 they started to compose great music, remember Hunting High And Low, now listen Cozy Prisons and Holyground, Morten voice didn’t pass through the years, his voice still the same, also Magne at The Summers Of Our Youth, amazing song. Celice… not big hit. Let me recommend you listening “Tom Petty & Heartbreakers – Wildflowers” album, and you’re going to find some similar rhythm between the rest of the songs.

Aha returns with new world label........
A-ha, the Norway trio from the 80's who
gave us one of the best collections
to come out during those crazy, wacky, synthesizer driven days
returns with a world wide record
deal and one of their very best collections of music. Great moody, atmospheric
pop/rock and the one and only voice
of Morten Harket. They regrouped during
the late 90's and put out 2 collections
as well as a live cd in the past 5 years, finally the States will get another shot to hear this brillant group
of musicans who were let go from their label Warner after one
big hit and labeled pin up boys and they
never got their recognigtion or due,
their record company only wanted to
sell them out as idols. These guys are in their
40's now and better than ever. "Celice"
and "Analogue" the new singles have
a sound similar to the best of Coldplay & Keane who grew up on Aha's
sound but this is Aha at their best
mature, polished and still rocking,
still inventing themselves.

Analogue album
 $10.49 
A-ha's sixth studio CD (seventh if their greatest-hits collection is included) came seven years after their previous album, Memorial Beach, and in that time it seems that a-ha mellowed out. They do not seem to have concern about attracting the youth/dance market, but instead seem to be focusing in on how to make perfect middle-of-the-road pop songs with '90s technology. This is not a criticism, as it produces several fantastic songs, such as "Little Black Heart" and the wonderful "I Wish That I Cared." These, and many others, are full of catchy, beautiful melodies and Morten Harket's ...

A-Ha keep on right on ticking via LIFELINES, an album which proves the "Take on Me" trio were no one-hit wonder.
A difference from their last effort yet undeniably a-ha. This time, the Norse purveyors of quality pop have opted for a variety of producers, ranging from Stephen Hague to Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. The album begins with a lush ballad -- which is typical a-ha, pastoral with support orchestration -- almost like a modern day Moody Blues. "You Wanted More" also follows this trait, ...

| | Boys Night Out Make Yourself Sick CD (2003)
Analogue album
$13.05
Boys Night Out returns with an expanded form of the sound it debuted on the 2002 EP Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses. Make Yourself Sick (Ferret) initially paints the Canadian combo as a pop-punk band, with an upbeat pace and catchy tunes about soft-focus stuff like youthful love and heartbreak. However, the band also shares metalcore's love of jarring aesthetic shifts, not to mention screamo vocals. The result is a song like "I Got Punched in the Nose for Sticking My Face in Other People's Business" (only the first of many cheeky song titles), which begins as an exuberant Get Up Kids-style anthem full of giddy lead guitar and boyish lead vocals, but is periodically visited by the tortured, shrieking spirits of screamo. "First Time It Shouldn't Taste Like Blood", "Decent Human Beings", and "I Was the Devil for One Afternoon" all follow suit, tempering their rousing emo and slick punk revivalism with tooth-shattering yowls and severe sonic shifts. Tracks like "Anatomy of a Journey" and "Hold on Tightly, Let's Go Lightly are even more ambitious, incorporating elements as disparate as drum programming, pious church organ, digital vocal tuning, and solemn choirs alongside the usual banshee screams and sweeping melody. ~ Johnny Loftus
Make Yourself Sick (Ferret) tries to refine and expand the formula Boys Night Out debuted with the 2002 EP Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses, but while it has its moments, it's ultimately stalled by its own ambition. Boys Night Out is essentially a pop-punk band, keeping the pace upbeat and singing highly melodic and catchy songs about soft-focus pap like youthful love and heartbreak. However, the band also shares metalcore's love of jarring aesthetic shifts, not to mention screamo vocals. The result is a song like "I Got Punched in the Nose for Sticking My Face in Other People's Business" (only the first of many cheeky song titles), which begins as an exuberant Get Up Kids-style anthem full of giddy lead guitar and boyish lead vocals, but is periodically visited by the tortured, shrieking spirits of screamo. While vocals like this are usually meant to be arresting, in the context of Boys Night Out they seem like ...
| | Citay Little Kingdom CD (2007)
Analogue CD music
$13.05
Citay's second album is a guitar lover's paradise. Ezra Feinberg (Piano Magic) and Tim Green (Fucking Champs) play a wide variety of acoustic, electric, and synthesized guitars on Little Kingdom and create a lush, layered sound that rewards close listening or is perfect for letting wash over you like a stream of shimmering water. The record plays like a stoner version of a Fripp and Eno collaboration with the two guitarists trading licks and creating loads of trippy atmosphere. Maybe it's more like a post-grad version of the Allman Brothers. It's not all guitar noodling though; don't get that impression. Feinberg and Green prove to be adept at shifting dynamics, creating varying moods, and crafting an overall mood that's both utterly relaxed and somehow majestic at the same time. Sometimes they are content to just noodle away in intertwined loops of melody; sometimes the songs build to crescendos of noise as the guitars rise and rise. There are a couple songs that feature vocals (provided by Feinberg and the angelic voices of Tahlia Harbour and April Hayley) and near-traditional song structure. "On the Wings" is one of these and provides one of the highlights of the album. When ...
