The Marble Index is the second studio album by the German musician Nico, released in November 1968 on Elektra Records. The avant-garde sound introduced in the album—a stark contrast with her folk pop debut, Chelsea Girl (1967)—was the result of the combination of Nico's droning harmonium and somber vocals, and the producer John Cale's musical arrangements, which were inspired by modern European classical music. Nico envisioned the release as an attempt to get artistic legitimacy and changing the looks that had made her famous as a fashion model.

dbo:abstract
  • The Marble Index je druhé sólové studiové album německé zpěvačky Nico, vydané v květnu 1969 u vydavatelství Elektra Records. Album produkoval Frazier Mohawk a o aranžmá a hudební doprovod se zde postaral John Cale (šlo o jeho vůbec první práci po odchodu ze skupiny The Velvet Underground). Své předchozí album Chelsea Girl Nico vydala v roce 1967 a následně jí byla zrušena smlouva s vydavatelstvím Verve Records. Deska v celém rozsahu vyšla znovu v roce 2007 jako součást kompilace The Frozen Borderline: 1968–1970; toto album pak ještě obsahovalo různé alternativní verze a dříve nevydané písně. (cs)
  • The Marble Index es el segundo álbum en solitario y el tercer álbum de estudio de la cantante alemana Nico, fue lanzado en noviembre de 1968 por Elektra Records . El sonido de vanguardia introducido en el álbum, un marcado contraste con su debut en el pop folk, Chelsea Girl, fue el resultado de la combinación del armonio y la voz sombría de Nico y los arreglos musicales del productor John Cale, que se inspiraron en la música clásica del siglo XX. Nico imaginó el lanzamiento como un intento de obtener legitimidad artística, cambiando así también drásticamente el aspecto que inicialmente la había hecho famosa como modelo. A pesar de que The Marble Index pasó inadvertido cuándo se lanzó, ha conseguido el reconocimiento de los críticos musicales con el paso del tiempo. El sonido sin precedentes de Nico y su personal estilo —ambos reconocidos por su calidad tenebrosa—está considerado como una gran influencia en diversos artistas. Destacadamente, sirvió de prototipo musical y visual para el Rock gótico de los 80. Nico y Cale continuaron trabajando juntos, lanzando dos álbumes más de estudio del mismo estilo --Desertshore (1970) y The End... (1974)—que ahora se consideran como parte de una trilogía. (es)

Nico envisioned the release as an attempt to get artistic legitimacy and changing the looks that had made her famous as a fashion model. Although The Marble Index was largely unnoticed when it was released, it has achieved acclaim over time. Nico's unprecedented sound and personal style—both recognised for their tenebrous quality—are considered an influence on several artists. Most notably, they served as a musical and visual prototype for the 1980's gothic rock scene. Nico and Cale continued working together, releasing two more studio albums in the same vein—Desertshore (1970) and The End... (1974)—which are now considered parts of a trilogy. (en)

  • The Marble Index è il secondo album da solista di Nico, che diventa il terzo considerando anche il primo dei The Velvet Underground (The Velvet Underground & Nico), al quale comunque ha partecipato con una certa marginalità nella fase di composizione. Fu pubblicato il 19 settembre 1968 dall'etichetta Elektra Records. Nico è l'autrice unica di tutte le canzoni sull'album e suona l'harmonium. Le spettrali atmosfere del disco hanno influenzato svariati artisti, tra i tanti: Coil, Steve Severin dei Siouxsie and the Banshees, Jocelyn Pook, Jackson Browne, Elliott Smith, e i Dead Can Dance. descrisse l'album come: "poesia disturbata di Nico accompagnata da musica persino più disturbata; risultante in uno dei dischi più terrorizzanti mai registrati". Il giorno della pubblicazione del disco Andy Warhol organizzò nella sua Factory una festa, a cui presero parte circa 200 persone, per festeggiare l'uscita del nuovo album di Nico. (it)

  • "Through a pale morning's arctic sunlight glinting dimly off the snow, a bank of violas emits one endless shrill note which eventually becomes electronically distorted by points of ice panning back and forth through the space between your ears, descending and then impossibly ascending in volume and ineluctable intensity until they're almost unbearable through infinitely graceful in their beauty."

  • My melodies are from the Middle Ages. They are from my Russian soul. I do not mean this literally, but they are that in my imagination. John Cale said that they are not tonal. They do not come from our key system. They are too old in their arrangement. (en)
  • I didn't think it was going to sell at all. But I thought it would be worth making. Elektra was doing so well at the time that we were able to take risks and experiment. That's what I did, took chances. People think record companies are only in it for the money. And yes, in order to keep doing what we were doing we had to make money. But it's how you spend your money that's important. (en)
