Hey Parka,

There's that "find my artbook contest" on your forum. I think i found that book and wanted to register (otherwise i cant reply).

But that function is disabled. Why i can't register?

Hi Parka,

ahhh Parka,

I don't know what's going on. I click that widget "be a member with this website with google friend connect" and it says i am already a member.
And i still can't write a reply.

Could you search if i am really a follower of your blog? you can see the email adress i typed in and search for that...can't you?

I love A-ha. I saw them live in Osaka last summer in their last concert ever in Japan. Amazing band! one of the best in the 80's. I'd love to get my hands on that cool book!
thanks for sharing!
I have a blog about music and I made a post about a-ha. Here it's a compilation about "Take on me"

And here "angel of the snow", from my point of view one of the most beautiful songs of the band.

In 1989, January Edition of a Brazilian Magazine, on a interview, Mags said he would hate to think about Videoclip becomes more important than Music. But, the band thanked for the opportunity , ...
Yes, this band got famous, because of these wonderful videoclips, specially from the 1st album. Despite the fact that the lyrics are not much cool (excuse us, Pºal and Mags! We are sincere), there were other elements which contributed for this band success: Morten's vocals (which would matches to Gothic Metal and Gothic Rock, in addition to the 80's Synth-Pop); A-ha's music which are well done (see "The Sun Always Shines On TV", "The Living Daylights", "I've been losing you").... As we said, it missed the lyrics (which remind us boys bands songs.... Excuse us again, a-ha). Thank you the blogger for this amazing pix....

Hello!
Thank U for this several pix! A pal purchased this book and liked this one! This biography shows the A-ha dark side..... Firstly, Morten's complex about his look: he couldn't understand how the girls fans "loved" him. This singer added that accepted this kind of thing because of fame; and, he liked the girls fans if they are object (Cruel? Perhaps!). Pºal was too shy, in spite of the contrary. Mags could idolatrate Pºal before the success, but...
Fight against, involving money and the bombastic comment about the ex-manager Terry Slater: only U2 and Genesis would deserve the Best Pop Group, no else....
We are anxious for a copy of this book.
All the best to this blogger.
D.K.

This book should be reprinted, at least, 5 times.... After all, The swing of things is not released in Brazil....

About this book, in Brazil, it is only shown the year 1991 ... Why? The first time when A-ha came to Brazil was 1989. Uhn.....

I borrowed my friend's copy of Jan Odmahl's book: this author made a mistake in relation to A-ha's Brazilian Tour: in 1989, Morten did not use ciclist shorts (this one was worn by this singer in 1991, when this band came to this country 2nd time, in Rock In Rio Festival).
The first Brazil Tour, Morten Harket wore in Apoteose (Rio de Janeiro) a blued handkerchief with black points around his brow; also, an white and ripped t-shirt (on arms), whose phrase was "Traps", with a ripped blue jeans on the knees parts and runner tennis (maybe it is a pair of Nike tennis).
In São Paulo, Estágio do Parque Antártica , Morten was more "elegant" : he worn a white shirt covered with a blued-transparent shirt; and, a blue jeans; and, a runner tennis, as his look complements. At least, he was better in São Paulo....

I just bought a hardcover english edition signed by Omdahl, Magne, Morten and Pal for under $300----- cannot wait to read it :)
