a-ha je nórska trojica, ktorú tvoria spevák Morten Harket, gitarista Paul Waaktaar-Savoy a klávesista Magne Furuholmen. Skupina, ktorá sa preslávila v osemdesiatych rokoch, patrí medzi najúspešnejšie škandinávske kapely v žánri synthpop a new wave.
Šiesty štúdiový album minor earth | major sky vyšiel v apríli 2000 u vydavateľstva WEA po šesťročnej nahrávacej pauze. Skupinu k návratu do štúdia motivovalo vystúpenie na Nobel Peace Prize Concert v roku 1998. Toto dvojdiskové vydanie od Rhina obsahuje 33 skladieb – okrem trinástich originálnych skladieb albumu prináša prvý disk aj remixy hitov Summer Moved On, Velvet a The Sun Never Shone That Day, druhý disk predstavuje demo verzie a alternatívne mixy. Album nadviazal na komerčný úspech predchádzajúcich platní a potvrdil pretrvávajúcu popularitu skupiny na začiatku nového tisícročia.
