A-ha's Mags has released his first solo album and it arrived from Sweden this morning. It's certainly a grower - I played it once and expected to put it to one side, but I'm now on my third play and it's getting better and better.

A-ha release their second greatest hits compilation at the end of this month - I shall probably ignore it for now considering I already own everything on there, but I'm looking forward to ordering a 400-page biography when it's released tomorrow and I also hope the release of the CD will pre-empt a DVD release of all their videos in the near future.

You can wake up now - the a-ha watch is over...
