A-ha's just performed their new single "Foot Of The Mountain" as a world premiere on the final show of "Germany's Next Topmodel" live from the Lanxess Arena, Cologne. :)

Love the stage performance and - of course - the song as well. ;)

I can't believe there's an a-ha thread. I've listened to their greatest hits cd a bunch of times recently, I do have to say there's only a handful of great songs on it. I do love this band though, the lead singer's voice is amazing and some of the songs are beautiful.

 

I can't listen to "Crying in the Rain" without lol because of the Flight of the Conchords song "I'm Not Crying." See for yourselves.

The only other Norwegian band I know is Rokysopp and I met them in Toronto a few years ago, very nice guys.

but I miss that beautiful nordic melancholy which is specific to them...

 

I read that a lot of Paul's inspiration for the songwriting came from the contrast between Norway and America, where he lives now. I guess their cultural influences have changed slightly.. but some of the songs still have that Scandinavian wistfulness about them. But then I haven't heard analogue so I can't compare...:\

 

Welcome to the board by the way :D

Haven't you? Oh my, how could you? :D One of their best albums for my part... a lot of fans don't like it, I don't know why. Maybe because it sounds rockier than the others, it's not "typic" a-ha... they used more guitars and almost no synths. Most of the songs were written by Magne.

 

Here's the official Analogue single video...

Thanks for welcome by the way :D
