Modern Harmonic's update of Nico's post-Velvets return to rock, 1981's Drama of Exile, includes eight remixes. |
Here's the scoop...
As one critic memorably put it, when Nico spoke it was like coffin-lids creaking. When she sang it was like listening to ravens taking off 13 at a time. Nico was like nothing rock music had ever seen or heard before or since. Features originals along with stoic takes on Bowie and The Velvet Underground. Includes the complete original album plus alternate versions!
Get a copy of Nico's Drama of Exile via Bandcamp right here. Check out the track listing following a version of the original album, an unsettling 1982 performance of David Bowie's "Heroes" and a haunting rendition of "Genghis Khan" from 1978 which is actually creepier than the studio version. Nick Cave recalls a chance encounter with Nico in the links below.
