Who or what is on vocals? Is it Nico? I like it!

@xXPinkGoddessXx always a instresting song with those vocals..i love it too,

the song taps into the 'lamonte young' drone minimalism that john cale helped bring into the band's sound, in this case featuring processed vocals from nico that float hauntingly over the proceedings and give the piece an eastern feel.

@sonicjay007 Ah, so it is Nico, thanks for that! I tend to think Nico's voice was a little misused in the Velvets, I don't think it was suited to a song like 'Femme Fatale' for instance. But here it works perfectly, like it did in her own work. If Nico was around today there would have been many more options for a unique voice like hers.

@xXPinkGoddessXx yeah i totally agree with you about 'Femme Fatale' but think she sounded 'Stunning' on lou's All Tomorrows Partys'.

i think that nico would love these Experimental times in music..and would be collaborating left, right,and centre with artists on Opposite ends of the great music spectrum.
