Analogue (All I Want)


"Analogue " is a song by Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha. It is the title track of their eighth studio album. The song was released as a single on 30 December 2005 and became a top-10 hit in Norway and the United Kingdom, their first in the latter country since 1988's "Stay on These Roads".

Background and release

The song was re-written and re-recorded after it was first recorded. The original version of the song was titled "Minor Key Sonata ", and was produced by Martin Terefe and mixed by Flood. Max Martin was then brought in to turn "Minor Key Sonata " into a more radio-appropriate song, with less surreal lyrics and catchier chorus. The song was then retitled "Analogue " and is the only track on the album not produced by Terefe. Upon its release as a single, it became the band's first Top 10 hit in the UK since 1988.

Music video

The video, which was shot in black and white, was directed by Howard Greenhalgh.
