NRG - Kulturel forvaltning 7″
July 27th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
Recorded in April 1983 but not released until 1984. This is a mandatory download for all! Two great tracks with one of the finest danish punk rock you’ll ever hear. Kulturel forvaltning is fast raw and cathy. Sort is slower but catchy as hell.
What I like most about NRG is Kim Ingemanns INCREDIBLE voice. Super melodic! Ahhh and I love the danish language. They released an LP in 1986 which I haven’t heard.

You are right, this is great stuff!
Best danish punk-songs I´ve ever heard, even better than SODS or LOST KIDS, incredible!

I like the schitzo keyboard breakdown in the middle of the first soneg. Combined with the awesome 4/4 drum beat, you’ve got some tasty punk rock.

You should also take note of the lyrics of “Kulturel Forvaltning”.
Kulturel Forvaltning is the name of the culture administration branch of Danish municipal authorities, but apart from this idiomatic use of the term, literally, it actually means “culture administration”.
Anyway, NRG had applied for a rehearsal room and received this letter from Kulturel Forvaltning:
“You have registered as contact person of a band who is in need of a rehearsal room. We are working on your case and hope to be able to return with an offer very soon. If your need for a rehearsal room should cease, please inform us as quickly as possible. Sincerely yours…“
Or, in Danish:
“Du har meldt dig som kontaktperson for en gruppe, der har behov for at få et øvelokale. Vi arbejder på sagen og håber meget snart at kunne henvende os med et tilbud. Såfremt ønsket om et lokale ikke mere er aktuelt for jer, bedes I venligst så hurtigt som muligt sige til. Venlig hilsen…”
And these are indeed the lyrics of the song! Written by Kulturel Forvaltning…

And, just to establish a perhaps obvious point: The over and over repeated refrain “Vi arbejder med sagen” (”med”, not “på”, my mistake) means “We are working on your case”, leaving no doubt about the effort and good will at Kulturel Forvaltning.
Another minor correction: In the first line of the Danish lyrics it should read “til en gruppe”, not “for en gruppe”.
