East of the Sun, West of the Moon is the fourth album by the Norwegian band A-ha. Released in 1990, it was something of a departure from their earlier radio friendly sound to a darker, moodier tone. The album was named after a Norwegian fairy tale. It reached number 1 in the band's native Norway and was Top 20 in various European countries and Japan. It was co-produced by Ian Stanley, formerly of the band Tears For Fears.

All tracks written by Waaktaar-Savoy/Furuholmen unless noted otherwise:

"The Way We Talk" features Magne Furuholmen on lead vocals.

None of the singles from the album had any exclusive B-sides or remixes. Instead, each contained three tracks; the A-side, another track from the album, and one of the band's past hits.
