Well at least it made the Top 40.Most fans would have already got the album from Germany as it was released there last month.

I guess the album is not getting much promotion, here in Denmark it has not been promoted at all. A shame because it's a great album, IMHO his best solo album.

He played about half a-ha stuff and half his solo stuff..I can't believe I'm saying this but he actually sounded better when doing the solo stuff. He played Spanish Steps and Los Angeles so I was happy! :D

Neither here in Ireland..didn't even make the Top 100 albums here :(..He's had a few radio interviews in the UK on BBC Radio..some rather decent interviews as well. I agree with you..I think it's his best solo album. I didn't even bother buying his last one as it was so boring

Great that you had a good time, guess it depends on what versions of the songs he performed 8-) in general I prefer his A-ha music, but as said I have to admit that the new album is pretty great :D

I felt the same way about his last solo album that's also why I was not to sure about listening to the new one :wink:

A shame that he is not promoted in most countries :cry:

Finally getting a chance to hear his previous effort, Letter From Egypt and I'm not disappointed at all. It has a more laid-back vibe to it, (As did WildSeed) but it's far from just easy listening. Clever production and Morten's dreamy vocals are innovative enough to hold your interest even when adopting a lazy groove.
