Atomkraft? Nej Tak is more than a compilation—it is a musical manifesto from Denmark’s anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s. Released in 1976 under the auspices of OOA (Organization for Information on Nuclear Power), the album gathers an eclectic mix of folk, rock, and protest songs united by a single cause: opposing nuclear energy.
Featuring contributions from acts such as Gnags, Sebastian, Povl Dissing, Gasolin’, and Shit & Chanel, the record weaves humor, urgency, and melody into a cultural document of resistance. Tracks range from rousing singalongs to intimate ballads, reflecting both the grassroots energy and the broad spectrum of artists who lent their voices to the movement.
The iconic smiling sun on the cover became an enduring symbol of anti-nuclear activism worldwide. Today, the album stands as a testament to the power of music as a tool for political engagement and collective identity, embodying a moment when art, protest, and community converged.
