Minor Earth | Major Sky (2000)

• Produced by Andreas "Boogieman" Herbig and Roland Spremburg with extra production work by a-ha and Kjetil Bjerkestrand.

After reforming in 1998 to perform two songs together at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, a-ha decided to make it more than a one-time thing. The resulting album reached platinum sales and spawned four #1 hits, "Minor Earth Major Sky," "Velvet," "The Sun Never Shone That Day" and "Summer Moved On." The latter went to #1 in an astonishing 17 countries and features a world record 20-second vocal note by Morten.

Paul says about the album, "We made a demo very quickly and intuitively, and that gave us the contract. But then we were at the next stage: is it a record? There wasn't any panic, it was only about the final most difficult fractions, coming up with the finishing touch. In fact, some of the songs were untouched since New York. I think we did a good job."
