A-ha -Velvet (De-Phazz Mix). Mixed By Pit Baumgartner. A-HA Velvet, 2000 German 8-track ENHANCED CD single including 7 versions of the title track,( De-phazz Mix, Millenia Nova Mix, Alabaster Mix, Stockholm Mix, New York City Mix & Radio Version) plus Director’s Cut video track “Velvet“ is a song by Savoy, a band fronted by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy from their first album, Mary Is Coming. Savoy’s version was released as a single in the US, but got very little airplay. A-ha’s version of “Velvet“ replaced Savoy’s guitars with sitars. Their version, the third single from Minor Earth Major Sky, was released to radio stations in Germany (and in other European countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Holland) in September 2000 and was released to German record stores on 6 November (one week later in other parts of Europe). Originally, “The Sun Never Shone That Day“ was to be released in Norway instead of “Velvet“, but it was later decided that “Velvet“ would also be released in Norway. The backing vocals was performed by Simone Larsen of the Norwegian band D’Sound.
