Ty Reacts To A-HA - Train Of Thought

[@alexioverdo5225]

'Hunting high and low' is an epic debut album.Young Morten's voice here is a mythical bliss to the listener's ear.

[@alexioverdo5225]

"Living a boys adventure tale',"The blue sky' are also two more great tracks in there,not to mention 'Dream my self alive' and "Here i stand and face the rain'..

[@reactionextraction]

Agreed 😎❤️ Here I Stand and Face the Rain is definitely an epic deeper cut from a-ha

[@lindawallerman2564]

Thank you for listening to a-ha again!!! Brilliant! 😊❤🎵🇳🇴

[@reactionextraction]

Brilliant 😎

[@leslapins7617]

Fabulous song! Love it! Thanks for the reaction!

[@jeffcappelletti1986]

The Pan Flute is actually a Fairlight C.M.I. sample. A-Ha used the Fairlight extensively on the whole album. The Roland Jupiter 8 was another synthesizer that was used a lot on the Hunting High And Low album. You guys should just do a whole album review of Hunting High And Low

[@Cta2006]

It is correct that they initially used the Fairlight on the first album, but they were not happy with the result, so they scrapped it. They used the Fairlight on the two next albums though.

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@Cta2006 The Fairlight was Tony Mansfield's toy. He was hired to produce the album, but the result was not what was desired. Most of the songs on the album were therefore remixed by John Ratcliff and the band. That the songs were remixed does not mean that they discarded everything Mansfield had done on the Fairlight. They toned it down, and let the songs' original sounds emerge in the soundscape. This according to the book "Så blåser det på jorden" by Håkon Harket and Henning Kramer Dahl. Alan Tarney produced Take on me and The sun always shines on TV.

Such a classic album. So glad I rediscovered them just over a year ago. What a ride it’s been! ❤

[@reactionextraction]

Agreed ❤️😎🤘🏼 Legends who have a true classic debut album, breakthrough videos, Hall of Fame lead vocalist, Fab looks, Magazine Covers galore, longevity without sucking, international appeal (whatever that means anymore, ha) & a Greatest HITS catalog that now goes on for days ... Wow 🤘🏼

[@franticrage73]

So much of their music hits for me. Great choice.

[@coachtomas]

I second the sentiment that A-ha sounded different. Although technically they were putting out tried and tested pop formulae, they were just different. A feeling that maybe isn't meant to or can be described. Myself their early stuff has a consistent epic and big-scale quality to it ? No doubt Morten's vocals contributed hugely to that. Also dare I say this, but the 80s was the last decade for freedom of expression in music, experimentation - free from a cut and paste business model that permeates today's music industry ? There is great music made today, but it has been pushed underground onto indie labels.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Agree about the '80s.Maybe that's the reason why youngsters and young reactors search a lot for the music culture back to those 2 decades.,exploring the '70s/80s.AS for Morten ,there's no other voice like him.And many A-ha songs can't be sung that perfect like Morten did.It's like a unique painting that is one of a kind. A-ha weren't just different.They were seductively different and magnetic.

[@Flip-zk6ts]

Great album. It's a favourite. Every track is soooooo good but after Blue Sky this is my favourite

[@ahkkariq7406]

Great to have you back again with a-ha. May I suggest Scoundrel Days, The living daylights and The blood that moves the body?

[@monicastenberg4801]

Morten Harket's voice always gives me chills when I hear this song! He has a powerful voice

[@dawndriscoll3344]

The reason, I understand, that a-ha didn't release any more in the US, was because the record company wanted them to live there, but a-ha wouldn't do that. Paul was playing pan pipes.

[@alisonscott1469]

Thankyou for reacting to A-HA. I subbed to your channel because you’ve reacted to them previously. I’ve been an A-HA fan for almost 40 years now since the take on me days in 1985 and the band are still together releasing their newest album october 2022 last year called true north. Take care and thanks again for the A-HA reaction they are such an amazing band yet so criminally underrated and unappreciated. 😘❤️🇳🇴❤️

[@reactionextraction]

I totally agree with you Alison. A-ha just have something special for many reasons. I admire them from afar here in the US. Can't deny they are legendary artist with an absolute hall of fame vocalist. Kudos to them. Sooo many epic Albums !! 😎

[@ronfarney6477]

[@reactionextraction]

Brilliant 😎

[@murielvarty664]

Good to hear aha ,love them that’s the thing about your show music l have not heard in a long time ah the good old days

[@ManxAndy]

Possibly my favourite AHA song, it’s this or Hunting High and Low…..Thankyou for doing this song…..👍💪🇮🇲

[@drs2328]

Great album!So many good tracks.

[@jpb4319]

you can hardly go wrong with them. so talented.

[@cmpa1970]

I think it depends where you live in the world, but mostly I think it's known as a pan flute. One of my favourite tracks on the album.

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

Great album, I feel Take on me gets all the attention, yes it is a great song but IMO Train of Thought is the best track from the Album

[@undorian5517]

Music is a bit like a TV-series. You sooner or later get involved, if you did like the original premise.

[@fletcher8431]

I would love to see yall react to Moon Walker! I recommend Devil, The TV Made Me Do It, and Nothing Can Save Me From Myself.

[@garymc3519]

When at college we had a friend who looked the spitting image of Morten and were the girls buzzing round him in the pubs of Edinburgh like bees round honey or what. Boy did we hate him. Hope he's really fat and bald now.

[@ElanurMH]

No he's not, he's aged like wine and he always looks 15 years younger than he really is. He was one of the most beautiful men in the world, sorry for you but he still is 😁

[@garymc3519]

@@ElanurMH I was talking about our friend from college days.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@garymc lol!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

I liked your honest humourous statetment.ha!ha!Seriously if you asked me i believe that Morten Harket,Simon Le Bon and John Taylor were the most good looking guys of the '80s any band could ever had and maybe even any decade ever after.They looked like filmstars and many boys had some reasons to be jealous of.Personally i wasn't really 'jealous ' l quite admired them. and wished i looked like that. I dusted out Simon's look to the max he!he!.

[@ElanurMH]

@@garymc3519 Oh I see, misunderstood it then 🙈😅

[@SteveVanRyn]

You guys should done Daft Punk..

[@alisonscott1469]

Morten Harket has a 5 octave range to his voice.

[@markwebster7435]

Pan pipes not flute 😉

[@entertainmenthell2396]

Big fan of the new thumbnail design. Excellent.

[@reactionextraction]

Excellent 😎✌🏼 Always appreciate kind words & feedback
