A lot of the change may have something to do with Morten Harket being 
much more involved with songwriting now than he was in the first 
heyday of A-ha.  One of the reasons A-ha broke up back then was that 
Morten was annoyed that the creative process was monopolised by Pål 
and Magne, while he was simply a pretty face singin' and swingin' up 
there by the mic.
