Minor Earth Major Sky (stylized as minor earth | major sky) is the sixth album by Norwegian synthpop band a-ha, released on 14 April 2000 by WEA. 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. 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» (edit), «Minor Earth Major Sky» (remix) and «Velvet» (edit) 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.
