Desertshore [compact disc]

Nico, 1938-19882023
Music
Domino announces physical reissues of Nico's second and third solo albums, 1968's The Marble Index and 1970's Desertshore. Both albums have long been out of print; the reissues will be available on vinyl and CD, featuring audio mastered from the original tapes. The Marble Index and Desertshore, both co-produced by Nico's Velvet Underground bandmate John Cale, heavily influenced the goth rock movement; the iconic music journalist Lester Bangs wrote, "The Marble Index is the greatest piece of 'avant-garde classical', 'serious' music of the last half of the 20th century so far," and the New Yorker recently hailed both records as "austere miracles of will and invention."
