Details
[Edit]Aptly named, The Velvet Underground never achieved mainstream success during their initial tour of duty in the late ‘60s. The ensuing years saw their influence deepen and expand among the punk, new wave, no wave, and post-punk groups that followed in future decades. This, their 1967 debut, is a monster: powerfully diverse and innovative in every respect. From the sleepy dream pop of “Sunday Morning” through the abrasive viola scrapings of “The Black Angel’s Death Song” and rambunctious piano pounding behind “I’m Waiting for the Man,” to the lyrical taboos of “Venus In Furs” (S&M), and “Heroin” (drugs), The Velvet Underground & Nico represented a very sharp contrast to the era’s peace and love vibrations. In addition, the album featured German actress and chanteuse Nico on several tracks — “Femme Fatale,” “I’ll Be Your Mirror” and “All Tomorrow’s Parties” — that furthered the group’s exotic appeal. Andy Warhol’s “producer” role was more in name and promotion than any actual sonic input. The band, featuring Lou Reed and conservatory-trained John Cale, were in no need of outside influence.
