The Norwegian synth-pop trio a-ha has one great song and a 35-year career to back it up. A devotional documentary pays fitting tribute to both.
” makes clear, A-ha have been around long enough, and have enjoyed enough sustained in-concert fan exuberance, to make the one-hit-wonder classification seem a bit of a slight. In a career that stretches back 35 years, A-ha have sold 50 million records and have played to crowds of 200,000. “Take On Me” appeared on their first album, “Hunting High and Low,” released in October 1985 , and since then they’ve released an additional 10 albums.
