NNCK have more in common with the sixties notion of the happening than anything more conventionally known as rock (or even improv). In that sense, the bands I liken them to most are the Velvets (in their live capacity), very early Amon Duul and, to a certain degree, Hawkwind.
NNCK are therefore important not just on a purely musical level but for tapping into an almost entirely lost tradition of more communal creative activity. The fact that they're one of my favourite 'bands' at the moment probably has a lot more to do with that, than anything found directly on the CDs themselves.
