All of her songs, regardless of their arrangement on the records, always sound so much better when does them solo on harmonium. I wish there were more recordings of her early concerts around. Or that she had done more solo shows in the 80s.

This is of the quality of hearing Pablo Casals play the cello pieces of Bach

"I'm absolutely convinced that some day, when people have ears to hear [Nico] in the same way that people have eyes to see a van Gogh now, that people are just gonna go, 'WHOOOAAA!'"

This reminds me of something like a less virtuosic, but more soulful, Diamanda Galas. Love it. Love it. Whereas Diamanda is a more in control artist, this is just like, total tragedy, very sad and beautiful. Sounds like the voice of the goddess of death.

Yes, it is his autobiography but he does write quite a lot about his mother, mostly in the form of various anecdotes. She was a very spiritual and sensitive person and was always travelling all over the world. He does speak about her death too, which has been particularly devastating for him. I think he really paints a much more human portrait of her rather than all those rumours that have been told in the past.
