own necesities and interest as musicians in evolution, remenber
Furuholmen; Who it semms to direct to their colleagues.
"Nobody destroy or separate a-ha, no one burning any britch, simply we
took a free time". (determine Harket)
"We need to take our own way for a while, to know who we are, outside
of A-ha".
I believe that everyone of us, need it in that time. (Magne Furuholmen)
"Simply we jumped the 90´s, that it seems to be very a-ha in a way"
(joke Pal Waaktaar)
So this band that always wanted to follow their own ways, this time took literally. Magne dedicated to painting and scuplt doesn´t slow too much in made himself a big reputation in the world (you can see some of his art work
in these home page) with exhibitions since Beiging to Paris.
Pal formed a band called Savoy with his wife and raking an album called
"Mary Is Coming", that recieved an excellent critism.
Morten Harket: recorded an album, called "Wild Seed", that promoted in México in 1995 (also you can see and interview here with Morten in this home page and one interview with Mr. Carlos Niño, a man who meet Morten in 1995 and who has a big carrer in the radio stations in México) and he discovered and exploted some areas that he left to Magne and Pal.
"It give me an understanding of the responsabilities that they had, it make
me appreciate their aportation in a different way."
In the middle of all this activity the trio dedicated also their time to the big and small goals that came with the childrens and life in general. In the present time, the legacy is extremely estrict, there are no kids that could arm this for himself, besides for a while the thing that you arm is there for a while in the closet becoming full of dust. So one day my son and I decided to disarm everything to the last peace throughout away the instructions, and simple play it with him.
It was the beguning of notable creative period for the kid. Somethimes you have to trew it away everything and star from cero again. (said a proud father) Who things that a-ha was the same case equally
Is necesary to reborn.
"They invite us to play in the Novel Peace Price in 1998, I think we were very surprise for the natural way we made music again together" remenber Pal.
At the beguning of 99, the band joint again in NY. To explore their potencial
and one year lately, they finished "Minor Earth Major Sky", definitly this
album has same continuity because some songs we wroted in 1993 anyway
at the same time, there are very fresh and talk about the way we feel now
in this moment. (Afirm Pal)
And he is right the ascend melancholy bewitch majestuosity with any doubt
that we are talking of a-ha; The A-HA of today.
This album was not easy to made but nothing in A-ha is easy, that´s is part
of our personality.
The changes were dramatic in the dinamic of the band and the spout of
Morten as composer, work that he always left to Pal and Magne.
"I wait till I have the necesity to compose maybe I will be liked before or maybe that was what I thought, anyway I was to the margen till I feel it was correct and natural an organic evolution". (said Harket)
We have pendent bussiness, said Furuholmen about the reunion. "I believe
that there is a tremendous potencial in the dinamic of our personalities, something that to be worthwhile to investigate." continue page 3
