25 has completed (? Wait) a very good overview of the career of a-ha. Among the 39 songs can be found virtually all major singles the band. Much of it also in the special single versions. The remix of The Blood I did not know so far. The other remix of the first Best Of CD Headlines And Deadlines Likes of The Blood That Moves The Body but better. Very nice also that a few key album tracks have found their way to the two CDs. Among them there with The Swing of Things, Scoundrel Days and Slender Frame 3 songs that count for me the absolute highlights in the song catalog of the trio. On Blue Sky I would, however, can do without and rather Living A Boy's Adventure Tale from the same album had it. The music selection to last album is in my opinion not as successful. Because I like such as The Bandstand and Riding The Crest much better than Shadowside. If these two pieces here still on it, it would be the perfect combination. Much more you do not need apart from the first two albums of the trio actually. The last single Butterfly Butterfly is quite nice, a real highlight in comparison to the rest of the songs is not. Overall, the hits come from the clenched first career phase. Nevertheless, the three have had their reunion after a few hits that I do not want to miss. The best single for me Analogue, which unfortunately disappeared completely in Germany (for the UK hit) because you had chosen here for the unspectacular Celice as the first single. The album flopped Analogue accordingly. It's also nice that all the songs are in chronological order. Remains to be seen when the three of them run out of money and again pending a reunion.
Conclusion: A really good compilation of almost all important songs of the trio. For my personal taste missing a few songs and otherwise I could have done without it. Nevertheless, one has almost everything right on this double CD. To get started and get to know the music of A-ha is the best CD. Therefore full star number.
Addendum: You come back. New album will be released in September 2015 and the tour followed by 2016th
