The one and only album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and saxophone.
A guest added some sampled voices too.
This album was released on a small jazz label at the same time as the far more famous pop band with a similar name, A-Ha, got their breakthrough with the hit single Take On Me. One small country, two bands with a similar name...
Aha!!'s take on me..... sorry, take on music is a mix of jazz and fusion. The band has some of the more famous Norwegian jazz musician and a guitarist who got a national breakthrough in a soul-pop band some years later.
The music is pretty good throughout these forty-two minutes. There are some good acoustic bass, guitars and saxophone solos here. The music is in the mid-tempo range.
The sound is not the best and this album is only available on a hard to find LP. There are far better jazz and fusion albums out there and this album is obscure for a good reason. It is still worth checking out.
