Like
a bolt from heaven, Nico cast off the understated pace of her
work as chanteuse of the Velvet Underground—and the heavily
orchestrated folk-rock of her solo debut, Chelsea Girl—for
the relentlessly bleak and cobalt-blue cool avant-garde stylings
of The Marble Index.
Produced by former Velvets’ John Cale, and employing
the harmonium as a lead instrument, The Marble Index is
revered now more than it ever was when released in 1969, as the
gurgling headwaters source of Goth Rock.
