Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

A-Ha - Cry Wolf

'Cry Wolf' is a song by Norwegian band A-ha. It was the second single from their 1986 Scoundrel Days album.

The lyrics "Night I left the city I dreamt of a Wolf..." are credited to Lauren Savoy whom Pål later married.

It was the most successful single from the Scoundrel Days album in the U.S., where it peaked at number 14 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts and went to number 50 on the Hot 100.

While it would be their last entry on that chart, the band would continue to have major pop hits from each album release throughout the rest of the world through to the present day. The single went Top 40 nearly everywhere else it was released, including Top 5 chartings in the UK, Poland and Ireland, going to number 2 in Norway and to the top spot in Japan. It was certified a Silver single in the UK on 1 January 1987. World Sales: 2,400,000 copies.

The theme of the video was taken from the story of the boy who cried wolf, which was also the inspiration for the song.

A-Ha - Take On Me

'Take on Me' is a song by the Norwegian pop band A-ha. Written by the band members, the song was produced by Alan Tarney for the group's first studio album Hunting High and Low, released in 1985.

The original 'Take on Me' was recorded in 1984, and took three releases to chart in the United Kingdom, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in November 1985. In the United States the song reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1985, due in no small part to the wide exposure of its memorable and cutting-edge music video on MTV, directed by Steve Barron.

Two videos were made for the song. The first release of 'Take on Me' in 1984 includes a completely different recording, and was featured in the first video, which shows the band singing with a blue background. The second video was directed by Steve Barron, and filmed at Kim's Café and on a sound stage in London, in 1985. The video used a pencil-sketch animation/live-action combination called rotoscoping, in which the live-action footage is traced-over frame by frame to give the characters realistic movements. The video won six awards, and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.

A-Ha - Stay On These Roads - Album

'Stay on These Roads' is the third full-length album by the rock band A-ha. It was released on 1 May 1988 through Warner Bros. Records.

The album peaked at number 2 in the UK album Charts while the album's peak on the Billboard 200 at 148. The album was another big hit by A-ha internationally, selling over 4 million copies worldwide. Stay on These Roads achieved Platinum status in Brazil and Gold in the UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany and Double Platinum status in France.

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic said "in the U.K., the album became the group's third straight to peak at number two, though it charted for a shorter period than the first two albums, and there were four Top 25 hits—the title track, 'The Blood That Moves the Body,' 'Touchy!,' and 'You Are the One.' (Also included was A-ha's 1987 theme from the James Bond movie The Living Daylights, a U.K. number five that missed the U.S. charts.)"

Lead single 'Stay on These Roads', number one in Norway, was a hit across Europe, including top-five showings in the UK, France, Austria and Ireland and top-ten chartings in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

'Hunting High and Low' was released in the summer of 1986 and became the third most successful single from their album, on the rock charts, and one of the band's most recognizable and popular songs.

The song didn't chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but charted in Britain where its peak was number 5 and in Ireland where it peaked at number 4.
