Many have whinged about the fact that Nico's 'people' tried to turn her unique, grim charms into folk-pop whimsy on her debut album. In fact the Artiste herself was reportedly quite miffed about it all. But that's what I love about it! It's the most uncommercial 'commercial' album I can think of. Underneath the pretty,gentle strings there's Nico doing her uncompromising Nico thing, looming frighteningly like an iceberg. There's something so defiant about the way she spits out: "I can't help it BABE, if you might think that I am ..ODD!" in 'I'll keep it with mine'. Favourite tracks: It's a toss up between the rightly loved 'These days' and the juggernaut that is 'I'll keep it with mine'.
