Shut Up, Laura

So I'm sure that all of my readers of a certain vintage remember a-ha, right?[1] Well, it turns out that their keyboardist has released a few solo projects, the most recent of which I just downloaded off of iTunes on a whim and it's fracking awesome. (And his website is entirely odd and in keeping with my sense of humour, too.)

What's the album sound like? Well, some people seem to think that my beloved Marillion simply sound like Journey, so I suppose that I need to think of a similarly well-known analogy for this one.  Uhhh....hmmm...I suppose Magne smacks a bit of the Goo Goo Dolls, or of the Dave Matthews Band. Maybe.  If either of those is your cup of tea, go download "Kryptonite" and "Nothing Here to Hold You" from your MP3 provider of choice to see if the rest of "Past Perfect Future Tense" might float your boat.

[1] You know, that "one-hit wonder" band from the 80's who've actually released something like a dozen albums over the last 22 years.  :-)
