The older I get the more I love her voice
those Cale produced albums are exquisite

The Marble Index and Desertshore.
Two albums of disquieting bliss.Music that is truly "sui generis".
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
The Marble Index, Desertshore and The End are those to get.
She was truly one of a kind.
Janitor of Lunacy!
Gotta be in the mood, but big fan.
Wifey HATES her. Not surprising.

The Marble Index and Desertshore are two of my favourite albums by anyone.
I love both Marble Index & Chelsea Girl. I remember a friend saying when the "Banana" VU album was released that Nico was "Marlene Dietrich on heroin".

I love her vocals
No one else sounds like her
Can say that on Dagmar too
german mother tongue
They very different but both seem to have that self conviction

I've only heard The Marble Index but it is certainly unique.
If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

And I agree that her work with Cale mostly defines her.
I just read a ‘character study’ of her from the keyboardist in her band for the last 8 years. “Songs They Never Play On The Radio”.
It’s very depressing and a little bit funny. She doesn’t really come off well, although he grows to appreciate her in a weird way.
Cale comes off quite poorly.

Yeah, she's good. Have Chelsea Girl and VU&N. I really like her voice.
Perhaps I should pick up Marble Index. There seem to be a few fans of that record on here. I wasn't aware Cale worked on it.
The End ?
98% as good as The marble Index.
This reminds me of this story:
http://www.progressiveears.org/forum...l=1#post406752
Mine as well. Hates her with a passion, and the legend/stories about her certainly didn't help (like shooting heroine into her kid). She flatly refused to see the recent movie about her, though I'd not seriously suggested we go out to see it. .
I myself have really a hard time getting into her music (I never get a crave for it), but once in a while, it works (like chancing it via the radio). The only album I own is the June 1 1974 live affair (where she does an unpleasant The End, but the rest is OK)
I guess it's time for a reassessment some day, because Udi's link did not make me run for cover.
I guess Mr Tr(L)ou Du Cul himself was contagious enough to communicate to his bandmates.
seriously, that whole VU crowd and AW/NY scene never sounded or seemed sympathic to me, whether or not they were groundbreaking (which they were).

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I have Chelsea Girl and Marble Index, both are great but I need to be in the right mood, good stuff.
