Ill Your Nico Velvet Underground

Over the past few years, I have realized I need to go on more road trips. It’s fun just to get away with a great deal of friends and go someplace you’ve always wanted to visit but never had time to. Road trips may be a blast, but they may also be long.

If you’re going throughout the country, I would suggest bringing numerous music along to keep you occupied when you need a lot of time to just relax.

A masterwork not recognized at first
By Daniel Maltzman
In all honesty, I ought to confess that I didn’t much like this album when I initial heard it. For years I had heard with regards to the legendary group but hadn’t genuinely listened to their music. I had only heard Velvet Underground cliches, like, “one of the most influential bands of all-time,” “genius,” “avant-garde masterpiece,” so on and so on.

Peel Slowly and See a Truly Original Band
By Gary F. Taylor
The Velvet Underground was little known for the duration of it is lifetime; now, more than thirty years after the band collapsed, it has a world-wide following–but the band’s music still have a tendancy to divide listeners. You either get it or you don’t. For those who DO get it, this recording, with it is Andy Warhol-designed “Peel Slowly and See” cover, is a must-have.

Both Lou Reed and Nico possessed flat sounding voices, and John Cale remunerated for this by down-tuning his respective stringed instruments–and then the band as a whole down-tuned to Cale’s pitch. This brings about a somewhat off-kilter, droning tone… and the result is a queerly hypnotic, many times dark, and often unnerving sound that swirls around the songs’ street-tough lyrics. At worst, it is at least interesting; at best, it is wholly original. Several of the cuts have a distinct pop inflection, but the band subverts them; “Femme Fatale” has a mocking tone, and both “Sunday Morning” and “I’ll Be Your Mirror” have a decidedly paranoid quality. But the cuts for which this album is most famous are when it comes to as far got rid of from pop as you may get: the strange exotic stutter of “All Tomorrow’s Parties;” the pitch black and street scary tone of “Heroin” and “I’m Waiting For My Man;” and the whip-like accompaniment on the S&M-oriented “Venus In Furs”–all of them oftentimes imitated but seldom equaled. The most uttermost edge of the band is captured in such selections as “The Black Angel’s Death Song,” a piece so far out that The Velvet Underground were genuinely fired from a bar gig for playing it one time too galore for the management’s liking.

If your taste in music runs to bouncy dance music, pop standards, or even what passes for experimental amongst the top 40–you might want to give The Velvet Underground a miss. On the other hand, if you have an ear tuned to the veritably cutting-edge (as in Patti Smith, one of assorted artists who were to a considerable degree influenced by the Velvet Underground), you owe it to yourself to give this band, and this recording in particular, a try. For those who have an ear to listen it, The Velvet Underground is an essential.

Alternative starts here
By A
Anyone who wants to know where “alternative” music came from must be pointed in this direction. Released in 1967, this album was a good 20 years in front of it is time, and still packs sufficient punch to blow away today’s wanna-be rock bands. It has influenced acts from Talking Heads to Nirvana. In fact, the fall-out left from the affect of this album is still felt today. “Heroin” is famous for it is naked honestness of a drug fix, but just as riveting is “Venus in Furs,” a twisted, sado-masochistic verse that would make David Lynch drool with envy. Another drug reference song, “I’m Waiting for the Man,” with Lou Reed’s nervous guitar lick, utterly captures the moment. Not that this group was all kinky business, though. Reed swipes the intro to Marvin Gaye’s “Hitch Hike” to fuel “There She Goes Again.” “Sunday Morning” plays like the calm before the storm with it is evocation of the perfective sunrise, while “I’ll Be Your Mirror,” and “Femme Fatale” are other achingly pretty songs sung by chanteuse Nico. And John Cale adds his avant-garde flavour to “European Son”. Moe Tucker stakes her assert as the greatest under-rated drummer in rock. A immense album, and one of the best debuts ever.
