By coincidence, I've got this CD in the car (as well as Lifelines, bought them both from C-EX in town a few weeks ago for £2.50 each - bargain) and played it all the way home from work last night.

Very underrated band, A-ha. They just got pigeonholed by the MusicPolice as pretty-boy pop, which, if anyone's heard some of their stuff, they're clearly not.

The Fall - Fortress/Deer Park
Ornette Coleman - Song X
Sun Ra - They Dwell on Other Planets
Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas
Captain Beefheart - Son of Mirror Man - Mere Man
Howlin' Wolf - How Many More Years
Sex Pistols - Bodies
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues

Arctic Monkeys - Brainstorm
Don't look back in anger - Oasis
We No Speak Americano - Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP

Sup with Americano 74? You not into the now stuff?

Don't you mean what's right with it?

I am into the new stuff aswell as the classic, but that song is a joke.

haha, i like it. Mind you i like all the dance stuff. I'ts really catchy, i'm hooked on this Americano

bob bob americano

Quite simply an awful, awful song.

unless we win and they play it tomorrow night...

Well thank you Sir! They were always known for their cheesy pop tunes, but when I first heard that song I had no idea it was done by them as it was completely different. The album is fantastic, very dark.

You Sir, are a sod, for reminding me of this song.
I've now played Minor Earth Major Sky, EIGHT TIMES in the last 24 hours. Passing cars on the motorway are asking me to put another track on.Good album. Summer Moved On holds the world record for the longest continuously held singing note - 20 seconds



Also, A-ha have done the near impossible, too. Do a cover version better than the original, with their cover of Crying In The Rain.
The only others off the top of my head I can think of are,

Bryan Ferry, It's A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Jimi Hendrix Experience, All Along the Watchtower
both originally done by Dylan
