Experimental Explorations with Nico

Featuring the strange dream-like sounds of the German singer songwriter's gothic avant-garde album from 1969, The Marble Index. Plus, Norwegian jazz, spacey dub and moody synths.

Featuring the strange dream-like sounds of the German singer songwriter's gothic avant-garde album from 1969, The Marble Index. The album's sound owes more more to European classical and folk music than rock and is dominated by spare harmonium and Nico's deep, haunting vocals. The second of her six gripping albums, The Marble Index was produced by her Velvet Underground band mate John Cale who described it as "truly unprecedented" at the time.

Plus, more music in the way of Norwegian jazz, spacey dub and moody Bladerunner-esque synths from the likes of Master Oogway, Prince Jammy, FUMU and Nurse With Wound.
