A simply sublime return for the a-ha front man. This album was all of what I expected from his previous offerings. A lot smoother in production and mature in tone. The songs vary from uplifting, soaring melodies to submissive, gentle reflection. An easy listen and a rewarding buy, showing off the bredth and range of his voice.

This is going to be a personal favourite.The stuff Morten produces just gets better and better.This was well worth waiting for.I can not fault a single track the whole package is fantastic.All i can say is like a fine wine or a mature cheese and vintage port ....this stuff is so mellow and haunting and unforgetable ....hopefully there will be many more to review.....

Letter from Egypt is an exquisite work of thoughtfulness and care brought to us by one of the most distinctive voices on the scene today. Morten's first solo album was just over twelve years ago, with 1995's Wild Seed, but fate intervened in the years and a-ha regrouped in 1999, producing three albums in the years since. Now, Morten has once again taken the proverbial drivers' seat and shown us his creativity, both as a lyricist and a musician in this solo work. Letter from Egypt seems to be direct follow-up to Wild Seed and after a few listens, one can deduce the spiritual and curious side of Morten as he pushes the proverbial envelope in crafting some beautiful ballads (Letter from Egypt, A Name is a Name, With You - With Me) as well as some decidedly rockable hits (Darkspace, Send Me an Angel, Movies) all along using his voice as an instrument, hitting the highs, finessing the lows and massaging every note inbetween. As with a fine hand-crafted wine, this album has been well worth the wait.

Mature but dull
There aren't really any surprises in this album. It's very similar to Aha's recent albums, except the songs are mainly ballads. Read more

Awesome
An absolute triumph in all areas. It's certainly been a long time coming after Wild Seed in 1995, his first solo album, but the wait's been worth it. Read more
