GHOST TRANSMISSIONS #86 - Rattled

Sonic Collective member Darren Scott started off our one hit wonder round by choosing a-ha. a-ha is often considered a one-hit wonder, largely due to the immense success of their debut single "Take on Me." The song reached number one in the United States and several other countries in 1985, and its innovative music video became an iconic part of 80s pop culture. 

We now go back and listen to this album and explore this band a little deeper to see if they deserve the negatively perceived one hit wonder moniker. Listen along to see what we discovered about this band from Norway, we think you will be surprised at some of the things we discovered.

Enjoy! Darren @ The Sonic Collective
