Morten Harket
Have any of you heard the 3 solo albums from Morten Harket? I think they are great. There are 1 english and 2 norwegian albums. They are very different from A-ha, specially the norwegian albums, but his voice is so wonderful, that they are worth every penny. If "Wild Seed" (his english album) was an A-ha album, it would have been the best...in my opinion.

I just found Morten Harket performing Paul Simons "Bridge over trouble water" - it´s amazingly good, Morten sings it very well, but the quality is not so good - if anyone wants it, send me a PM.

"Spanish Steps" What a song! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> SO COOL, that should be a hit.

There are some really great songs on "Wild seed", for example "Los Angeles" and the earlier mentioned "Spanish steps". The single "Some kind of Christmas card" is though something I really don´t like. I would place this album as number 6 in rank if I compare to the A-ha albums and the Savoy albums.
The Norwegian albums are also nice, but not that good. The album "Vogts villa" is the best of these and includes 2-3 really nice songs. I prefer all of the Savoy albums (Pål Waaktaar "solo") to these two Norwegian Harket albums. |

Some snippets from 'Letter From Egypt':
http://www.universalmusic.no/ecards/mortenharket/ If I would choose three favourite tracks from Morten it could be A Kind Of Christmas Card, Half In Love Half In Hate and Jeg Kjenner Ingen Fremtid. 'Poetens Evangelium' kind of sucks, I think. I love every track on 'Wild Seed', it's a masterpiece. 'Vogts Villa' has some really great tracks but not quite as solid as 'Wild Seed'. |

There are two other Morten Harket songs that are excellent but not any of his albums.
