A Dot of Black in the Blue of Your Bliss is the second solo album by Norwegian band a-ha's Magne Furuholmen as Magne F. It was released as a 300 copy limited six-track vinyl EP in February 2008 and then as a regular CD in May 2008.[1] The limited vinyl copies included a special hand painted cover by Magne Furuholmen himself as well as the CD and a poster featuring all the hand painted covers that were part of one bigger artwork.[2] Furuholmen painted the record covers at Oslo's City Hall in January 2008. The performance was streamed on his website.[3] The album sees the collaboration of Guy Berryman from Coldplay as a bass player.[4] [5] [6]
In 2009, the track "The Longest Night" was used by a-ha as a base for the song "Foot of the Mountain", which is available on the album of the same name.[7] [8]
