One listen of NNCK made me feel comfortable with the music, but it did not either really challenge or excite me. Funnily enough, I think I will be going back to the CD again for another listen, but I can't imagine buying any more of their stuff. Why? Because i have a personal preference for the UK end of this stuff, in particular Astral Social Club, who I've seen twice and who did blow me away.

yeah, but i think everyone posting in this thread is probably quite well aquainted with the type of stuff you mention, but we all still hold nnck in the highest esteem. personally i'm not overly enamored by their records (the 4 or 5 that i've heard, i mean they're OK and stuff) but as a live band i've never seen anything like them, so don't write them off until you've seen them play.
