2 stars When Wigwam made another comeback in 2000, that wasnīt me anymore that kind of big thing as it was in 1991. Afterwards it is very easy to understand, why they did it again. In the nineties Finland wasnīt ready to prog, but in the begin of 2000 there was even bigger interest to prog than ever! Everything went quite the same way as almost ten years before. Wigwam made one gig in Ruisrock, they felt playing together was really cool and also there seems to be even more audience this time. I wasnīt in those gigs, but one of my friend bought their "Titans Wheel" album when it came in 2002. Really have to say album sounded awful then and I just couldnīt find anything great from it! Recorded it into cassette and listened few times. But when Svart records released it as vinyl in the 50th celebration year of Wigwam, I bought it and have to say I have warmed it a lot. There are really good songs like the starting "Remains To Be Seen", title song and "The Lost Lizard King" that has the old Wigwam magic.

But then there are songs like this they released as first single from the album. Stadium rock with "vooou" in the chorus - nooooo. I believe it was again the same hope: maybe the polar bears will buy fridgeīs in the US? Really didnīt buy this single when it came, so I donīt know does radio edit version differ much from the album version. But have to say "Heaven In a Modern World" is not the worst song in Titans Wheel, they left it into next single.
