Ieyou were to say "a-ha" you'd not only be expressing surprise over this extraordinary list of accomplishments, you'd aso be naming the band. ‘Over. the course of their stellar career, a-ha has, in fact, continued 0 surprise fans and critics alike with music that reaches beyond borders and boundaries to touch universal themes with a common musical chord, The group's run of smash singles, sold out concert halls and record-breaking receipts is indeed the staff of musical history. But what counts, finally, is the sound itself and, on that account, aca is clearly in a las of one. Te’ 2 standing about to be immeasurably enbanced by the arrival of| Memorial Beach, echds fifth career album and a collection of ten otiginal songs that cleatly places the eio at the forefront of today's niusic, Featuring «hls haunting new single, "Dazk Is The Night," song with such standout tracks as "Cold As Stone,” "Lie Dowa In Darkness" and the ttle tack, Memorial Beach was produced by the soup with the able asstance of David Z, best known for his work vith Prince, Fine Young Cannibals, Bodeans and others. The result should convince American audiences of what music fans worldwide have known for some time; a-ha makes music that ratte. t was in the early eighties that Norwegian-bom Mags, Morten and 2al first joined forces to create a unique musical partnership Xelocating in London, they began performing locally and recording «series of demos that eventually caught the attention of Wamer 3ros. Records he group's debut outing for the label, 1985's Hunting High And “ow highlighted both the group's seamless ensemble playing and parkling vocal harmonies. The album featured the world clas hit, ‘Take On Me," which ako established a-ha at visual pioneers wich dazzling video that blended fantasy ant reality. Before it war all over, the song had streaked to the top of the chars everywhere including Ainerica, where it quickly became a radio staple. From the out-of-the-box success of their debut single and album, aba embarked on an extensive round of international touring, bringing their electrifying stage show to audiences on virtually every continent Among the most responsive fans anywhere were those of South America, where a-ha has become a household name from the Amazon to the Andes, The group has racked up no less than 14 number one songs in almost every Latin American nation, and, for five consecutive years, saw at least one of their albums in the Top 5 at all times, Tt was in Rio that they broke the Guinness attendance record with a massive outdoor concert and at the University of Santiago in Chile, there is even a course offered in the band’s Not bad for three lads from the frozen north, but acha had alerays been about making music with an intemational Gai. From 1986 to 1990, they released three nore best-selling studio albums, Scoundrel Days (1986), Stay On These Roads (1988) and East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon (1990). They also found time to write and perform the theme for the James Bond film The Living Daylights and released, in 1991, a long-overdue greatest hits package titled Headlines And Deaalines: The Hits Of a-ha, But dha is also concerned with more than their next hit single or sold out concert tour. In contrast with other, more publicity- minded stars, the threesome have been quietly, but effectively, ebrowing their weight behind a nomber of crucial environmental ‘causes, including investing in the development of solar cars and the purchase and preservation of Brazilian ain forests. They have alo performed at a number of events benefiting ecological awareness, Following their hugely suecessil South American tour of lst year, ‘cha began laying the groundwork for a new album, Everything fiom writing new songs - a task handled primarily by Pal - to selecting a procicer was done with an overriding goal in mind. "People in the States know us mainly for "Take On Me," explains Mags. "This time around we want to show them what else we can do, "We've come a long way musically since that time,” intejects Pal "We feel we're ready co present something fresh and new to America." "It can be very difficult to get noticed in this country" agrees Morten."There' so much music... f much competition, Buc we've determined, on this record, to do here what we've done in the rest of the world, And we chink this i che album to do it with." There's no doubt about that.
