A-Ha has been the butt of countless one-hit wonder jokes after hitting it big in the United States with "Take On Me" and then drifting off into obscurity. Doubtless there are a few music fans in United States who were aware of the band's continued two and a half decade career. I only just found out about their continued existence when Morten Harket announced that the band will be no more after its current tour. While "Take On Me"  really was enough Norwegian synth pop for a lifetime, there seems to be something compelling about being able to listen to over two decades of a band's discography at once. Perhaps there is a great undiscovered treasure trove of A-Ha music out there. More likely, though, I'm just getting sentimental for the halcyon days of my youth, when MTV played videos instead of banal reality series. Either way, Vaya con Dios, Morten, Magne, and Paul. [NME]
