East of the Sun, West of the Moon is the fourth album, released in 1990 by Norwegian band a-ha.
It was seen by many as a departure from their old radio friendly sound to a darker, moodier tone, and is named after a Norwegian fairy tale. The album sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
This album marks something of a transition for A-Ha, moving away from the 80's synthesized sound into something more moody. But don't be scared, it will grow on you!
Crying in the rain A great cover of a great song - it was the first single, which is an indication that the album doesn't really have any songs that are viable instant hits.
East of the sun is a departure from the last album, with the pop sounds almost entirely replaced by soft rock with a 60's/70's feel.
Rolling Thunder I think A-ha recorded this and someone must have said "That sounds a bit like Crying in the rain" Which gave them the idea to cover said song. It's even got the same thunder/rain samples on it!
It's a very good song though and a rolling rock ballad.
Seemingly non-stop July A slow acoustic ballad to end the album gently.
In a sense A-ha don't seem to be being themselves, so it can take a bit of getting used to, if all you have heard is what has come before.
