I'm a big fan of a-ha since take on me and since few days I've been listening to this version of Manhattan Skyline and this version of the sun Always shines on tv (extended version) a lot.I think the 2 songs are fantastic.

Don't miss it! The unique opportunity to see who you're dealing with and find out about copyright issues. Pal is the only member of a-ha to have spat in Thomas robsahm's face!

Do you believe every rumour that you read somewhere? What's the source?
No, I'm using my neurons like an adult man, I'm using my logical mind.
This is just a conversation between fans asking questions, that's all.This isn't a rumor like you claim, because Pal said last year in a Q&A session that he dreamed of reworking a-ha songs and It's been almost three years since the deluxe editions of Foot of the Mountain and Analogue were officially announced and they still aren't available. Why?!
They deduced that there's a band member who would oppose at the release of the deluxe editions, and it would be Pal.Why would it be Pal? If he still wants to exploit a-ha songs, that would explains a lot of things.Do Magne and Morten release a-ha songs on their solo album?No! Their solo career have nothing to do with a-ha.
QuoteMeggie Is it undeniable? Really?
To be honest, I think so ....unfortunately
-
This is a great thing for a-ha!
Will the band sell tee-shirt, mugs and create their official merchandising ?
-
I would like to know if there is a database concerning the quality of pressing of a-ha albums?
-
Schade, dass die Presse grad (ungefragt?) vorangeht und a-ha toll featured, aber die Plattenfirmen nichts neues im Verkauf haben, von der Record Store Day LP abgesehen.
Since when has the band a-ha offered its fans the minimum? The same edition reissued several times to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary? It's not normal!
True North hat gezeigt, dass sie weiterhin musikalisch zu Höchstleistungen fähig sind.
Yes, of course that's why the album true north sold so poorly! Fans didn't like the album because they wrote separely.On the other hand they'are still / always talentued , they just need to manage to work the songs together and it's not an easy thing.

Edit: i'm not interesting to win a copy, i did an error of translation, the book is not in english sorry ...
I discovered a-ha with take on me through television after hearing the sun always shines on tv and my parents bought me the first album.I'm a big big fan of a-ha and I have their entire discography.I've seen the band live several times, especially since their comeback with Minor Earth Major Sky.
Like an adult man, i've travelled a lot to see the band live because they haven't played in Italy for decades.I have a lot of good memories and I've met some really nice fans on the internet,some of whom I bump into at gigs.
That reminds me and I'd forgotten that I got a Pal's autograph during the Lifelines tour, where? Oh yes! It was in Switzerland in 2002 but I can't remember where I put it, maybe he is cast in the steel in the true north album, who knows!
I dream of a comeback from a-ha, a new album, a new tour.That would make me a very happy man! I also dream to have several super deluxe editions of Foot of the Mountain, Analogue and the other albums, live albums from the tours of the last few years. The Hunting high and low tour 2019/2022 is the one I'm hoping for the most! well, it's my opinion!
-
Speaking of deluxe edition....Fans are starting to realize there's a problem somewhere.I just read a few hours ago (I don't remember where) that it would be Pal himself who would opposes the release of the deluxe editions and a toxic person of his entourage is the one who would encourage him to do it. Is it true?!
I think it's undeniable, pal has someone in his entourage who's unhealthy / toxic.So these stories of management/managers problems would be true then? How can we explain why the deluxe editions announced several years ago aren't released ? Why there are no big deluxe edition annonced to celebrate the band 40th Anniversary?
It's very strange and i must to admit i dont understand what's going on?
-
well, So, I'm finishing the series of the group's 11 albums
Hunting high and low
A1- Take on me
A2 - Living a boy's adventure tale
A3 - The sun always shines on tv (extended version)
A4 - Hunting high and low
A5 - I dream myself alive
B1 - Here I stand and face the rain
B2 - Train of thought
B3 - Love is reason
B4 - The blue sky
B5 - And you tell me

A3 - Scoundrel days
A4- I've been losing you
A5- The swing of things

B3 - We're looking for the whales
B4 - Maybe, maybe
B5 - Soft rain of april
Stay on these roads

In conclusion, Morten's songs are only on B-sides except for those written with Pal and Magne. Savoy's songs or those co-written by Lauren in the trash.
Objectively, there will never be a second Scoundrel Days unfortunally, but a second Lifelines, I' want to believe!

Die krassesten Fehler sind einmal, dass sie White Canvas live gespielt hätten, Die TOP40 finde ich im Großen und Ganzen ok, auch wenn ich FOTM und Shadowside da nicht gesehen hätte.
In which chapter did you read that? In the lifelines chapter? Which page number? I read the edition quickly for lake of time but i dont remember seeing that. I don't agree with 80% of their top 40.
This special edition is a good thing but there's a lot of stuff we already read several years ago.I was expecting an exclusive on the future of a-ha but there's nothing new!
-

Nun, wenn schon a-ha nicht wissen, wie es weitergeht, wie sollen es dann die Reporter von Classic Pop wissen?
To clarify things, I'm not criticizing the journalists themselves. Personally, for me, this magazine is a reference most of the time, at least. It's really well written, and I don't regret buying the online copy.The interview with Steve Barron and the director of a-ha the movie, as well as a few articles, are really interesting.What bothers me is the promotion on their Instagram account, which provides information about a-ha's future, when in reality, there's nothing else we already know! I'm mainly disappointed to see that the 40th anniversary of Hunting High and Low and the band is only used to promote their solo careers, which we don't necessarily want to follow.I'm passionate about the band a-ha, the songs of Pal and Mags and Morten's voice.
-
Done! Well, there are a lot of things that's already been published in the past and I don't really agree with their top 40 songs.
The only thing that's interesting is what might happen with Morten and some little things about Magne. I'm not fan of Savoy and i don't care pal's solo career.
Nothing at all about a future with a-ha, a bit disappointed to be honest even though some of the articles and photos are really good.
-
Thank you! I've just bought it online , im going to take the time to read it 🙂
-
Meggie The only a-ha songs I don't like, and I've said it before are : you're the one and the eight songs of the truth north album (6 written by pal et 2 written by Magne).
As far as solo career is concerned, apart from the Magne album, I have to admit I've been very disappointed by what I've heard from Pal.
I'm waiting to see what Morten will bring us as a solo artist.
Andererseits wurde auch plötzlich deutlich, dass die Musik irgendwie nicht mehr aus einem Guss kommt.
Oh ja... Besonders krass zuletzt bei "True North" zu hören.
I agree with you on that!
I didn't like the True North album but it doesn't mean I won't like the next one!
-
I think it's wrong to say that the songs on this album are bad.My upside-down thumb means that some songs don't have the a-ha's writing style of my point of view, that's just to clarify things
-
Und wer von uns saß da alles vor 25 Jahren da glückselig mit Kopfhörern und hat den zehn neuen Songs gelauscht?
An dieser Stelle möchte ich nochmal ein ganz dickes DANKESCHÖN!
an unseren Foren-Betreiber Andy richten, der seitdem uns a-ha-Fans hier eine Heimat bietet, uns über unsere Lieblings-Band auszutauschen!Me!
Andreas for your great forum!I'm having a hard time digesting like many other fans that a-ha won't be doing anything in 2025.I can imagine an a-ha comeback in 2028, I don't know why it's on my mind.If Morten hadn't changed his mind and agreed to come back in 2015, there wouldn't have been Cast in Steel, MTV Unplugged, or an Electric Summer Tour.I was very happy with the return with Minor Earth Major Sky, but it wasn't the band I knew.Some of the songs, from my point of view, aren't exactly a-ha songs; I like seven out of ten songs.The songs are written by different people and that's a problem for me. a-ha for me and I already said it, it's Magne and pal who write together and Morten only has to sing.
