Yeah, it's a lovely album, feels like a particulary powerful daydream, in contrast to The Marble Index which sounds like the soundtrack to a terrible nightmare

This, absolutely. That is truly gave me one of the most gorgeous musical experiences of my life. I listened to it like 30 times in a row the first day.

Anyway, the album is pretty darn good.

Her version of These Days is just about my favourite song of all time. I never listened to her music much though, and I think I should correct this one of these days...

I'm pretty sure I sing The Fairest Of The Seasons when I sleepwalk.

Truly lovely album, must disagree with Nico's opinion that the orchestration ruined the album, it's one of the best things about it I reckon.

I don't think it counts as a German album.Ok, I know, she was originally from Germany...but she was living in the US during those years in the 60s, she made this album with only American/British musicians in New York, and she sings in English.

Anyway, good album.
