1985’s Hunting High And Low featured a cover image by Nevadaborn photographer Just Loomis, who would go on to provide the shots for five A-ha albums
Synth-pop seems to avoid swinging too far in and out of fashion, unlike so many genres that have risen and fallen before and since its inception in the late 70s. This constant relevance could be down to the instrument’s inherently futuristic sound and, indeed, the part it played in the futurist movement… or perhaps it’s thanks to the slick productions enjoyed by so many great synth-pop recordings. Think Dare, or Lexicon Of Love – there‘s a freshness to those records that is seemingly indelible. The same could be said, we’d argue, for A-ha’s Hunting High And Low. It’s an album that has stood up remarkably well in all the years since its recording three and a half decades ago, and the proof that the present is no different lies in the fact that the band have been celebrating that milestone by carrying the album in concert across the world, to huge audiences and in territories they would never have dreamed of touring at the time of its release.
