Desertshore is Nico's most accessible album as well as her most varied, although it is probably still not the stuff for the casual capitol radio listener. All that said if you are interested in Nico, this is probably the best place to begin before taking a step back to The Marble Index, and two steps foward to The End. Desertshore is usually seen as Nico's crowning achievement and in some respects this is true, for this is the only album where she gets the balance of darkness and light correct. Good examples of this are the beautiful Piano and String led ballad, Afraid, as well as The Falconer, which starts of quite dark, but just before it begins to grate, Cale masterfully subdues Nico's harmonium to bring in more of that tender piano. Another tender effort is the almost acapella, My Only Child, which contains some wonderful harmony vocals. JJKelsall
