MINTY CLEAN ....Original 1975 first pressing of a classic progressive album that went over (and under) the heads of many would be fans of this album ... really catchy tunes, the more you hear the better it gets...

The second era of Wigwam history saw the band receiving some of the recognition that they deserved from major labels and this was the first album that they released with Virgin records. The loss of Jukka Gustavson and Pekka Pohjola allowed Jim Pembroke to grab a firm hold over the band reins with the music on this album being considerably different from much of their previous work, most notably their previous studio album, Being.   The title track, Nuclear Nightclub immediately laid the foundations for the "new" Wigwam sound which would be rather more direct and accessible to the first time listener. However one can also pick out various influences to Jim Pembroke ranging from blues to psychedelia, an effect evoked by Rechardt's airy David Gilmour-like guitar work. Freddie Are You Ready, the first single released from the album features some lush harmonies accompanying an extremely upbeat and ear-friendly piece of music. Never before had Wigwam sounded so accessible! And with Bless Your Lucky Stars the band showed that they still could manage to create with a degree of excellence tracks that featured an amount of creativity. This particular track features distorted vocals alongside some nifty electronic work, proving that the face of rock music was indeed changing by now with synthesizers taking prominent role and for progressive rock lovers, Bless Your Lucky Stars is surely one of the highlights of the album. Kite on the other hand is a more traditional Pembroke tune with less experimentalisation involved in it. One of the striking features of this track, apart form the dreamy guitar solo, is the full utilisation of the keyboards merely as an atmospheric backdrop, something that would have been unheard of with Gustavson in the band.   Do Or Die has the band returning to their progressive rock style, though Pembroke manages to show his uncanny ability in making a complex piece of music still sound commercial, something which it definitely is not! Once again one must note Rechardt's guitar playing which really added a new dimension to the Wigwam sound in the studio playing out some fantastic duets with Kotilainen's keyboard work. Seeing that Simple Human Kindness is a sole Pembroke composition, one can immediately deduce that it falls within the commercial aspect of Wigwam, though it is one of his more entertaining tracks with some swift changes in structure and time signature. Save My Money & Name is slightly uncharacteristic sounding for Wigwam with a strong bluesy feeling to it though on the instrumental Pigstorm the band seem to really get things going once again albeit in more of a rockier vein. This track had also appeared in a live version on the band's previous outing, Live In The Twilight Zone.   As an album, Nuclear Nightclub is a worthy introduction to the band for those listeners who like a band to grow on them.
