2004 US repressed on 150g HQ VIRGIN VINYL- The quirky, orchestrated folk-rock of Nico's 1968 debut album, Chelsea Girl, in no way prepared listeners for the stark, almost avant-garde flavor of her 1969 follow-up, The Marble Index.

The chanteuse presented an uncompromisingly bleak, gothic soundscape on her second album. Dominated by spare harmonium and Nico's deep, brooding vocals, this album unveiled her singularly morose songwriting (her first record featured none of her compositions). Owing more to European classical and folk music than rock, it found little favor with 1969 audiences. But like the work of the Velvet Underground, it proved to be quite influential in the long run on a future generation of black-clad goth rockers.

The Marble Index is the second solo album by Nico recorded in 1968 and released in 1969 The album featured longterm associate John Cale an experimental musician who had worked briefly with Nico during her stint in The Velvet Underground Cale had an extensive background in various avantgarde settings working with minimalist composer LaMonte Young among others Cale and Nico created an album that radically deviated from traditional rock music song structures Cale said it was the first rock album to do so He also said that The Marble Index had made a seminal contribution to the body of modern classical music

Nico wrote all her own songs on the record and plays the harmonium The arrangements are abstract and musically speaking cold The effect is kindred to the psychological sound experimentation of electronic and serial composer Karlheinz Stockhausen The Marble Index has been described as a nightmare in sound The record has influenced a wide array of genres since its release with various artists citing it as integral such as Coil Jocelyn Pook Jackson Browne Elliott Smith and Dead Can Dance Numerous gothic rock bands have also cited The Marble Index as a seminal influence
