Title: America WAKE UP!
Review: Here in America, this band is seen primarily as just a "one hit wonder" from the 80's. Now, "Take on Me" is a great song, but a-Ha is NOT just that one song. I have all of their CD's (including Morton's excellent "Wild Seeds") and you cannot go wrong with any of them. The only one that is a bit spotty in places is "Memorial Beach" but that is understandable. This CD is a fantastic overview of the band and is highly recommeneded. From here, go to "Scoundrel Days" or "Minor Earth, Major Sky" and get drawn in. It is a shame that America is not able to grasp how Pop music can be done in a artful, interesting way that has meaning. a-Ha are the real deal.
