    In 1995 while working on Channel 4 TV's The White Room I found some two inch masters of a few surviving outtakes of BBC 2's defunct and mainly wiped Disco 2: a whole then unseen episode too even surfaced featuring a band called L.A. 2 a dire re-incarnation of the Love Affair. But two short outtake or insert reels revealed the tapes you are watching here. I still have these two songs on VHS straight off the two inch with outtakes of Nico's feet playing the Harmonium peddles at the tail of the Falconer.

      Amazing, I was just thinking nothing from Disco 2 survived and this explains the provenance of this footage. Well done for rescuing it!

    This performance is an absolute piece of art and showcases Nico at her most brilliant, beautiful and darkly poetic.
    Can you believe "Desertshore" will turn 50 in November? It still sounds as avant-garde and anachronistic as ever.
    A true timeless Masterpiece.

    She’s unique but I still think of medieval music when I hear her. I’m so glad I discovered her work. I like it more than the velvets.

    She somehow combines darkness with a beauty suggesting a belief in the light. So complex.

    Nico - everlasting bliss that bewitches every time...
    Flawlessly delivered.
    As well as being the Ultimate femme fatale moon goddess and queen of the bad girls, fluent in 5/6languages, muse, Warhol superstar, and coolest rock and roll lover to many artists, her music stands toe to toe with all of them but possesses an ageless genius and crafted mastery.
    Her poetry, diction and avant- grade style harmonium work and The Faction are still to this day miles ahead.
    She is simply the perfect person to meet in a forest.

    The Marble Index, Desertshore and The End had such an impact of what was to become Postpunk and Goth. Nico, the Godmother, together with the Prince Of Darkness, John Cale as her producer and arranger would take Avantgarde to a completely new level.

      She started using recreationally in the late 60s, 68 or 69. I can’t remember when The Marble Index was recorded, but I read an article where John Cale said she either used while she was writing the songs and/or during the recordings. So pretty much, once she changed her image it wasn’t long after that she began using. She had previous history with drug use when she was a model, but it was normalized for models to take prescribed amphetamines to keep them thin. No judgements on her addiction though, she went through some shitty stuff.
