Gør det noget

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When Gasolin' released "Gør det noget" in November 1977 (translation: "does it matter" or "so what") they knew it was their last album. After the ambitious "Gas 5" and "Efter endnu en dag", Gasolin decided to make a garage-rock album. Therefore, the service of Roy Thomas Baker was not needed and "Gør det noget" was produced by Gasolin' and Tommy Bogs.

The sound on "Gør det noget" is raw and thunderous and songs such as "Jumbo number nul" and "Kina Rock" sounds like Sex Pistols. Sentimental ballads like "Kattemor" and "Længes hjem" has a rawness due to the minimalist production but all the songs are still very catchy. Especially "Det bedste til mig og mine venner" and "Strengelegen". From this album "Jumbo nummer nul"/"Kattemor" and "Kina rock"/"Længes hjem" were released as singles.

"Gør det noget" was remastered for CD in 1989. It was also included in The Black Box box set (2003). It was recorded in Sweet Silence Studio in Copenhagen and engineered by Freddy Hansson and Flemming Rasmussen. Flemming Rasmussen would go on to become the producer of Metallica.
