2 stars Wigwam´s comeback gig in 1991 Provinssirock was a really big thing to me! I found band in the eighties and then I would have never thought to see them alive! Of course I felt little bit sad it was 1975 line-up that did comeback and from the first it was clear, they´re going to play mostly only pieces from Nuclear Nightclub and albums after that. But anyway that was a really great gig! But when they have toured a year playing only old material, they had to quit or start to make new material. So they decided to make an new album that become "Light Ages". In that album there is also old material re-recorded, but the greatest part of it are songs like "Absalom" & "Talking Brought Me Here" that they composed already in the end of seventies and just not ever recorded. Although album production is not the best could have been, there really are those highlights. Also have to mention Jan Noponen was just the right drummer replace Österberg.

I believe when Wigwam made comeback very soon there were still hopes that international success would be possible to achieve, because it never happened in the seventies although the record deal in Virgin etc. So the songs chosen this single really are those new ones, that are made with some kind of commercial thought. All the way these both are perfectly arranged and also produced when thinking this kind of music. But very boring to me and really that part of Wigwam music, I have never cared much.
