Originally scheduled for release this month, the a-ha singer's latest solo effort has been pushed back to the first week of March. "Movies," the first single from the album, is beginning its ninth week in the Norwegian top 10.

In other a-ha related news, Magne F's new solo EP sold out in its limited edition pressing, but is available for free download on his MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/magnef.

I realize I may be only a-ha fan on this list, but one never knows...

2008 solo album from the voice of a-Ha. Morten Harket is one of Norway's biggest stars and has remained one for the last few decades. Ever since scoring a worldwide hit with 'Take On Me' in 1985, a-Ha have been the most popular Norwegian musical export since....ever! Though their popularity waned in the U.S., they've remained hitmakers in Japan, Europe and elsewhere. It has been 12 years since his solo debut album Wild Seed, which sold 160,000 units in Norway alone. Letter from Egypt contains 12 tracks including the smash hit single 'Movies' and the second single 'Darkspace'. Universal.

1. Darkspace
2. Send Me An Angel
3. We'll Never Speak Again
4. There Are Many Ways To Die
5. With You - With Me
6. Letter From Egypt
7. A Name Is A Name
8. Movies
9. Slanted Floor
10. Anyone
11. Should The Rain Fall
12. The One You Are

I'm a fan and have all their solo stuff, so appreciate the update. It's hard to get a-ha news in Kentucky, and I hate to hear that the Magne F EP has sold out, as I don't much care for downloads, even free ones...

You are definitely not the only a-ha fan on this list. I was utterly devoted to them for their first three albums, and the stuff they've put out since their reunion has been pretty wonderful as well. "Summer Moved On", in particular, is classic. I'm off to find that Mags EP and a download of "Movies". Thanks for the heads up.

Amazon (US!) is offering this one at $18.99 -- a bargain compared to what it would cost to import. I ordered mine this morning.

Amazon USA is now showing the album as in stock this coming Tuesday, June 24th. (I've added cover art and tracklisting details to the first post.) And here's the "Darkspace" Norwegian CD single, which includes a non-album track:

Two track CD pressing of the second single pulled from the a-Ha vocalist's 2008 solo album Letters From Egypt. Features 'Darkspace (You're With Me)' plus 'All You Concerned'. Polydor.
