Produced by Frazier Mohawk, it was released on Elektra Records. Described by critic Simon Reynolds as "one of the most harrowing and death- fixated albums in rock history",[1] The Marble Index was written by Nico and features musical arrangements by John Cale, who had worked briefly with Nico during her collaboration with the Velvet Underground. Though a commercial failure upon release, the record has since received acclaim from music critics and has influenced decades of music to come. The Marble Index was produced in a period of Nico's life that biographers tend to barely probe.[2] Jim Morrison, who Nico later referred to as "[her] soul brother", encouraged her to write her own songs; Simon Reynolds described this as "a key breakthrough for [her]."[3] A hippie in San Francisco sold Nico a harmonium,[4] an instrument with which "she discovered not only her own artistic voice, but a whole new realm of sound."[5] The droning pump organ became her trademark.[6] Regarding the album's recording process, John Cale remarked, "I was pretty much left alone for two days, and I let [Nico] in at the end. I played her [the album] song by song, and she'd burst into tears. 'Oh! It's so beautiful!', 'Oh, it's so beautiful!' You know, this is the same stuff that people tell me, 'Oh! It's so suicidal!'"[4] The music of the album was a new style for Nico, distancing herself from rock and pop.[5][8] Anne Marie Micklo, in her 1969 Rolling Stone review, described it as "mood music, with an obscure and elusive text recited over it."[9] The album also unveiled Nico's songwriting, as Chelsea Girl featured none of her compositions. Her lyrics deal with introspective and somber themes. The tracks were originally recordings of Nico singing over her droning harmonium; Cale later added musical arrangements on top, reminiscent of European classical, avant-garde and folk music.[8][10] The resulting soundscape has been described as "stark", "dislocating", "extreme" and "frightening". Anthony Carew of About.com described it thus: "Bleeding out sombre laments and brutal dirges of intense medievalism, she sounds for all the world like she's wandering through the valley of death".[5] Richie Unterberger of AllMusic described it as "an uncompromisingly bleak, gothic soundscape".[8]
