 a-haAnalogue Release Date 2005 11 08 Label Polydor Rating:  The Norwegian band a-ha had never really been away, so the 2006 album Analogue was hardly a comeback but a continuation of their 20-plus years of hitmaking. If anything, it was a return to form after the disappointing Lifelines album. The opening track, &"Celice," was released in Europe only and featured Morten Harket's trademark falsetto vocals over a beat driven song. Pål Waaktaar's fuzzy guitar dominates &"Make It Soon" but Analogue is mainly a very laid-back album, only a few of its 13 tracks are up-tempo in the style of their classic era &"Take on Me," and most of the tracks are piano led, melancholy ballads including &"Cozy Prisons," &"Birthright," &"A Fine Blue Line," and &"The Summers of Your Youth." Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young lends his backing vocals to the tracks &"Cozy Prisons" and &"Over the Teardrops" and makes the harmonies on the latter song sound almost like one of CSN&Y's own. Halfway through the album comes the track &"Halfway Through the Tour," a synth-beat number over seven minutes long. It's a strange song which appears to finish at the standard three-minute mark but then continues for a further four minutes as a flute instrumental with echoes of &"Nights in White Satin." The first single to be released in the U.K., &"Analogue (All I Want)" became their first Top Ten single since 1988's &"Stay on These Roads." Sharon Mawer, Rovi |
