Nico and the Faction – Camera Obscura (Blue Vinyl) Supply

Camera Obscura is legendary Velvet Underground performer Nico s final studio album. It was produced by John Cale and features the backing band The Faction. It if it does not sound positively comfortable – listening to Nico remains a cathartic, solitary experience – it s at least less despairing than its predecessors. TROUSER PRESS: Joined by two sidemen and Cale as producer, Nico made the odd but exciting Camera Obscura in 1985. This modernization program includes both the nearly vocal-less title track s meandering semi-random improvisation and an attractively somber version of My Funny Valentine, with stops in between for fascinating blends of Nico s unique singing and post-noise industrial music.
