Well worth for proggies!

"From the rich and heady days of 70's Progressive Rock, only a handful of artists' material seem to have aged with some dignity. Finland's Wigwam certainly qualifies. While their previous album, the prodigious "Being" (now a very much a collector's item) pushed the concept of "prog" to it's most creative and certainly complex extremes, NN features much simpler structures, almost radio friendly yet retains very much Wigwam's trademark dark and often beautiful atmospheric grooves as well as humour. The songs are carefully crafted. The playing and production is certainly never overindulgent. If this genre of rock music appeals to you, then buy this! Also look for their follow up "Lucky Golden Stripes"."

Fresh after all these years

"Tell me, show me the band in these days that it's music will still be fresh after twenty years. First time I hear Wigwam's NN album was at my friend and then I want that album so badly that I bought it from him. That time in Slovenija(ex republica off Jugoslavia)was hard to get that kind off music and he didn't want to sell me that album, but I convinced him. I still have that vinyl LP and I don't want to sell it."

Best ever Finnish album

"This album was made mid 70's but it is still the best Finnish rock album. No one else has captured the spirit of music better than these guys. Rekku Rekhardt is like Clapton but plays with his own attitude and Ronnie Österberg was one of the most unique drummers during those times. Never played any solos but like Band's Levon Helm he was always reliable and steady drummer. Sadly he commit a suicide in 1980."
