The tracks almost relentlessly downbeat but it seems to give me a boost when I'm blue. Having said that, I also love their more upbeat numbers.

Wild Seed is a fantastic album. I bought it on release, and it had quite a big promo push over here in the UK (not that it sold as a result, but still). In terms of the reformed A-ha, 2000's Minor Earth Major Sky is probably the one to go for - big tunes that really should've found a wider audience.<br><br>And yup, their Greatest Hits record is a gem.
