It's now forty years since A-Ha released the single Take on Me, with its innovative video...
In 2022 the band A-Ha released their album 'True North'. The band is Norwegian, but the cover looked more like Iceland to me - the Reynisfjara area, but it didn't look quite right.
Wikipedia says that the album artwork actually shows an image from a legendary remote surfing bay in Lofoten, an island group close to and accessed by ferry from Bodø, where the album was recorded. The location of the bay is called Unstad.Here's the video for the song.
Back in the 90s, the 12" version of their single 'Manhattan Skyline' was regularly played by me too.
