It is rumoured that it will be issued here in the USA in March of 2006 and that ANALOGUE will be the first single here. A-ha will tour the states too once again in 2006. They currently are on tour and just played in GREECE on the 13th. Their European tour takes them through LONDON, FRANCE, RUSSIA, NORWAY, GERMANY ending on December 29th, with some rumoured dates for January.

After this CD a-ha was dropped from the USA label of Warner Brothers, though WB still had them for the Rest of the world till 2004. Also after MEMORIAL BEACH a-ha went on a 5 year hiatus, did some solo work, paul formed SAVOY and released 3 cds, Morten had 3 solo cds, 2 in Norwegian, MAGS had 2 Solo cds during that time, mostly experimental, film score like, he also released a solo record in 2004 (AMAZING RECORD). A-ha returned in 2000 with MINOR EARTH MAJOR SKY and then in 2002 With LIFELINES, in 2003 a double Live Album from the 2002 tour called HOW CAN I SLEEP WITH YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD and then in 2004 WB issued the Best of A-ha which closed out their contract. A-ha then signed a 7 figure deal with Universal for 3 new Cds. what was the last official album release they have had here in the U.S [Edited 11/16/05 22:00pm] "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Very true. Its also amazing how many bands mention a-ha as influences, just to name a few, there is Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol, Radiohead and also U2 sites them as one of the most overlooked bands as far as getting credit for being great writers and performers. I think a-ha came at a time in the USA when MTV was a big thing and a big influence, so obviously the Video was the thing that broke them in the USA, but i think after that people just couldnt see them as anything else, MTV really didnt play anything of theirs after the second albums first single "Ive been Losing You". A few years back VH1 ranked a-ha in the top 15 for One Hit wonders, and had a short interview with them where it was pointed out how a-ha still was big all over but here. But maybe now when this CD gets issued here the USA will wake up to a-ha.
