"I'm absolutely convinced that some day, when people have ears to hear [Nico] in the same way that people have eyes to see a van Gogh now, that people are just gonna go, 'WHOOOAAA!'" -Iggy Pop
This reminds me of something like a less virtuosic, but more soulful, Diamanda Galas. Love it. Love it. Whereas Diamanda is a more in control artist, this is just like, total tragedy, very sad and beautiful. Sounds like the voice of the goddess of death.
Sensationell! Welche Künstler(innen) sind heute noch so mutig? und so gut? Ich frage mich immer noch, wie das war, 1968 als sie als unbekannte Musikerin mit Gesang und Harmonium alleine auf der Bühne zu starten. Die LP Marble Index ist eine Revolution gewesen. Und auch hier ist die Performance brilliant. Die Drogenzeit lag da schon hinter ihr. Schade, dass sie schon 1988 gestorben ist.
All of her songs, regardless of their arrangement on the records, always sound so much better when does them solo on harmonium. I wish there were more recordings of her early concerts around. Or that she had done more solo shows in the 80s.
Nico was not " miserable ' or " sad " or " tragic ". She could be amusing, playful and a good laugh. She painted on the white make up and did the show - always the actress.
The ultimate 'femme fatale' - because she was fatal to herself, and therefore to anyone else who came near. I so much wish that she had found some kind of happiness, eventually. Of course, that might have meant the end of the Nico we knew. But small loss, if she'd survived. People are more important than art. An older, mellower Nico - a bit boring, eh? I could have coped with that. She was beautiful.

Nice. I'm reminded of Terry Riley.

Pourquoi a-t-elle choisi Delon qui n’avait ni culture ni une ombre de tendresse. Je me demande pourquoi ce choix.
;-)
Si c’est la perfection physique qu’elle cherchait, elle aurait pu trouver mieux.
when heroin took over her she have created new music style hehe
