Din aceeasi sursa eu am gasit mai multe.

"Morten looked like Elvis Presley and had the operatic voice of Roy Orbison" (Jeff Ayeroff, Warner's marketing genius in 1985. Comment from 2005)

"...a-ha are some of the greatest unacknowledged geniuses of pop's past two decades." (The Guardian reviews a-ha's Royal Albert Hall concert in London, 2002)

"Everyone asks us who has inspired Coldplay, who we have stolen from, who we listened to when we grew up. Such questions remind you of what has formed you and had an impact on you. The first bands I loved were a-ha and James." (Chris Martin, Coldplay)

"I was in Amsterdam the other day and I put on the album Hunting High and Low. I remembered right there and then how much I loved that album. It's just unbelievable songwriting." (Chris Martin, Coldplay, 2005)

"They are definitely my favourites this summer. Their last CD (Minor Earth, Major Sky) is just fantastic, and how the vocalist sings!" (Sarah Brightman)

"That man got pipes." (Carl Perkins commenting on Morten Harket's voice)

"I met a-ha for the first time on Barbados, and got a very positive impression of them. Different personalities that strives together and creates something creative. I stands respect of what they do, and we got a good contact. When I and David Crosby played in Oslo earlier this winter, Morten appeard backstage after the concert. There we began to talk about the possibility of contributing with a little vocal, and now it's done. a-ha is a good band, and the song I did backing on is very good." (Graham Nash of The Hollies / Crosby Stills & Nash, from a 2005 interview. Nash will do some backing vocals on one of a-ha's new songs)

"It was so cool that they were there! a-ha was one of the bands that were really in the spotlight on MTV in the '80s. That's why it was really fun that they participated at Live 8." (Audioslave, 2005)

"This is one of my absolute favourites of all time (Kanye West, singing "Take on Me", 2006 )

(Comments taken from The Swing of Things, the official a-ha biography - on Press Forlag, and newspaper interviews in Norway and the UK )

Stiu ca deja e arhicunoscuta admiratia pe care Chris Martin le-o poarta celor de la A-ha dar am gasit un obiect cu vocalul de la Coldplay intr-un Mirro.co.uk ceva mai vechi si-mi consimt (cu vadita placere) sa il citez aici:

"He seems more comfortable talking about other acts he likes listening to.

"Pete Doherty is a genius songwriter. I like Arcade Fire, Kraftwerk and, of course, Status Quo." He is also a huge fan of 80s band A-HA and wears several leather bracelets similar to the type the band's frontman Morten Harket used to wear.

Chris reveals: "They are the first band I ever loved!"

For once the singer isn't joking."

"A-HA - CHRIS' SECRET IS REVEALED

20/04/2005
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed the source of his musical inspiration to be... cheesy Norwegian 80s pop band A-HA.

He confessed all on Virgin Radio's Pete And Geoff Show. Later, he debuted material from Coldplay's upcoming X&Y album at a secret MTV gig in Hackney.

Chris also said Morten Harket was "the most disarmingly handsome man you will ever meet".

Wonder if Gwyn knows..."
