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.

"J.Moon - strange boy"

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':

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.

Can't take my eyes off you - Cone Heads soundtrack
