Released in July 2009, a-ha’s ninth studio album, Foot Of The Mountain, brings back the iconic sound that defined their career. Following the monumental success of hits like ‘Take On Me’, this album marks a nostalgic return to form. The combination of synth hooks and introspective lyrics creates a captivating atmosphere that resonates with fans old and new.
As lead singer Morton Harket remarked, “It was about time that we reached out a little more.” This collection showcases lyrical innovation, particularly in tracks like ‘Start The Simulation’, which cleverly intertwines Cold War-era jargon with modern themes. With rich melodies and profound storytelling, Foot Of The Mountain is a must-have for any 1980s music vinyl collection.
