Original, made in Germany Knjizica od 20 str. Odlicno ocuvano knjizica 5 Cd 5 Minor Earth Major Sky (stylised as minor earth | major sky) is the sixth studio album by Norwegian band A-ha, released on 14 April 2000 by WEA. Background and release Following the release of A-ha`s fifth studio album, Memorial Beach (1993), the band decided to go on a hiatus. In 1998, the band was invited to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Paul Waaktaar-Savoy had written `Summer Moved On` especially for this performance.[2] They also performed `The Sun Always Shines on T.V.`. This performance was A-ha`s comeback into the world of music and the band decided to return to the studio. Almost the entire album was remixed by producer Niven Garland at the record company`s insistence to make it more radio-friendly for the band`s German market. `Summer Moved On`, `Minor Earth Major Sky` and `Velvet` were commercially released as singles. `I Wish I Cared` was an Internet download single, accompanied by an Internet-only music video—one of the first of its kind. Backing vocals for the track `Velvet` were provided by Simone Larsen of Norwegian band D-Sound.
