Foot of the Mountain

£34.99

Released: 6th December 2024. In July of 2009 a-ha released their ninth studio album 'Foot Of The Mountain', which became an instant success. The band started off in 1982 and had their international breakthrough with 'Take On Me' coming only 3 years later. Part of the success was the music video, which was part animated, part real, which lead to MTV taking it into their rotation. This album marks the return of the band to their original sound, after world hits like 'Take On Me' and 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.'. As Lead Singer Morton Harket puts it: 'It was about time that we reached out a little more'. With its typical synth hooks, deep lyrics and melancholic sound, the album creates an atmosphere of nostalgia, that makes the band one of the biggest acts in the world. The album shows lyrical novelties, with 'Start The Simulation' which is composed by using the technical jargon of the Cold War era's Space Race.
