Efter endnu en dag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Efter endnu en dag" (translation: after another day) was released in November 1976 and was the the last Gasolin' album to be produced by Roy Thomas Baker. It is their most ambitious and sophisticated album. The bombastic rock of "Stakkels Jim" and "Gas 5" was replaced by an more eclectic approach making this album their "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band".

"Pilli Villi" and "Pas på svinget i Solrød" are up-tempo rock songs, while "De fem årstider" and "This Is My Life" are ballads. In between you get sing-along pop hymns such as "Sirenesangen" and swing jazz songs such as "Bella Donna". "Stenalderjazz" is an instrumental played by an symphony ensemble and not by Gasolin'. It was arranged by Palle Mikkelborg. The title song and "De gule enker" would surface again on "Killin' Time (DK)" as "Closer" and "Magic Garden". "This Is My Life" can be heard in an up-tempo rock version on Kim Larsens "Kim Larsen og Yankee drengene" (1978) and "Live i Skandinavien" (1978)

"Efter endnu en dag" was not well received by the critics who accused Gasolin' of delusions of grandeur, but the album attained platinum confirming their superstar status in Denmark. It was engineered by Freddy Hansson and recorded in Sweet Silence Studio in Copenhagen and Trente Mølle in Funen. From this album "Sirenesangen/De gule enker" and "Pas på svinget i Solrød/Bella Donna" were released as singles.

"Efter endnu en dag" was released on cd in 1987 with "Gas 5" but due to lack of space, "Mama Cucu", "Twillight Birds" and "Stenalderjazz" were omitted. In 1991 it was remastered for cd and it is also included in "The Black Box". (2003) "Efter endnu en dag" was released in Spain as "Al cerrarse un nuevo dia" with song titles in Spanish translation, but sung in Danish.
