LittleMissMessy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The new a-ha album is simply amazing!! Honestly! I am listening to it literally non-stop :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMissMessy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Okay .. here are the pics again from the CD booklet :) And Guy is even mentioned in the credits: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMissMessy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Foot of the Mountain vid.. OMG ... :laugh3: I only notice now that part of the video (the recordings in the city) were actually filmed in my city :laugh3: The nature recordings were done on the island Usedom (or was it Ruegen??) also in Germany :) I just love the song, it's just so catchy and positive and I am immediately in a good mood after listening to it :) I would give the album a 9/10. I am into pop music so this is really my cup of tea and my fave tracks are 'The Bandstand', 'Riding The Crest', 'Mother Natures Goes To Heaven' and 'Start The Simulator' ... well, they are all brilliant :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Never listened to this band, but I am hearing 'Hunting High and Low' (album) for the first time, and its really great! 'Take on me' is such an amazing song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlyseet Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Liking that song tho - thanks for the link - guess I should check the album out :D You definitely should :D and the others you've never heard - 90's a-ha music was fantastic. East of the sun west of the moon is an amazing album... I can post here links to some 90's a-ha songs, if you want (and if I find them :D ), then Lifelines, released 2002 - the best they have ever made, reviews say... and their comeback album - Minor Earth / Major Sky, released 2000. Check this out - one of the most beautiful songs from MEMS album ;) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUB9Rq8FcEQ&feature=related]YouTube - a-ha Summer Moved On[/ame] Paul's band called Savoy produces very good music as well, it's different from a-ha music, it's rockier, but worth listening :) Here's another song from Analogue album, Cosy prisons... http://muzyka.interia.pl/teledyski/teledysk/a-ha-cosy-prison,16256 Ok, that's enough for now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMissMessy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the pictures LittleMissMessy :) are you going to a concert in Germany in autumn? Was a bit late in buying tickets to see them here in Hamburg. By the time I decided that I wanted to go, the arena was almost sold out and only tickets on the 2nd balcony were available. But I just purchased tickets for Hanover on November 14th today. 4th row, centre - BABY!! :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've watched this kind of documentary on Pro7 television the other day... Thought it was pretty amazing! It deals with the recording of "Foot Of The Mountain" (I noticed the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin btw) and the earlier days of the band when they started to be a band in Norway and moved to London later on. :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBHW4HnXYhg]YouTube - a-ha - EPK Foot Of The Mountain (German Version)[/ame] It's in English with German subtitles... Oh and note Chris Martin's quotes at the beginning hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCfan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I just got FOTM and Analogue this week in the mail from Amazon.ca I love the tracks Foot of the Mountain, What there is, Shadowside, Analogue, Birthright, Cosy Prisons. All of the songs are good. I still have some catching up to do and buy the Lifelines and MinorEarthMajorSky CD's. Here in Canada, I didn't realize those recordings even existed until I was checking out youtube sometime last year. The only a-ha song ever played on the radio is Take on me. I allready had the first 5 albums and have the first 3 albums in VINYL. They are coming next march to Canada, but I will be choaked it they only come to Toronto.
