a-ha / Analogue 2CD deluxe

21 bonus tracks

a-ha / Analogue 2CD deluxe edition

a-ha’s 2005 studio album, Analogue, will be released as a 2CD deluxe edition in April.

The band’s eighth album was produced by a-ha and Martin Terefe (mixed by Flood) and was notable for featuring ‘Analogue (All I Want)’, a song that returned a-ha to the top 10 of the UK singles charts after a 17 year drought. Swedish songwriter/producer Max Martin was brought in to work his magic on a song called ‘Minor Key Sonata (Analogue)’ and it was transformed into ‘Analogue (All I Want)’.

Other singles from the album include ‘Celice’ (which wasn’t issued in the UK) and ‘Cosy Prisons’, which featured backing vocals from Graham Nash.

Unlike the RSD 2LP vinyl (which simply spreads the album across four sides of vinyl) this 2CD set offers 21 bonus tracks, 15 of which are previously unreleased.

Appended to the album on CD 1 is a-ha’s last ‘proper’ B-side, the excellent ‘Case Closed On Silver Shore’, the radio mix of ‘Cosy Prisons’ and edits of ‘Celice’ and ‘Analogue (All I Want)’.

CD 2 is where it gets really interesting with early/alternate/demo versions of every album track, including the embryonic ‘Minor Key Sonata’ (which featured on the UK CD single of ‘Analogue’) and even an early version of the aforementioned ‘Case Closed On Silver Shore’.

This disc also includes three unreleased outtakes from the Analogue sessions. ‘Slanted Floor’ and ‘With You-With Me’ were both written by Morten Harket and Ole Sverre Olsen and later re-recorded for Morten’s 2008 solo album Letter From Egypt. The third outtake, ‘Windfalls’, was written by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy.

The two-disc set features newly mastered audio and is presented as a digipak with notes by Kieron Tyler with new contributions from the band’s Paul Waaktar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen.

This Analogue 2CD set will be reissued on 17 April 2026, via Rhino. The 2LP vinyl is out the next day for Record Store Day.
