Third album that pairs Nico's thick & drooping German accent with a goopy harmonium (and very little else) to sumptuous & elegaic effect. Her toddler son sings on one cut, and John Cale imitates a choirboy in the background of another. Joe Boyd helps with production duties on a few closely-recorded chunks of strings, but mostly they let Nico's funereal elegance stand on it's own. Near the end, they even beat up a piano a bit so that it's just making glorious thunder noises, and have someone squeal trumpet over it. Tracklisting: Janitor of Lunacy, The Falconer, My Only Child, Le Petit Chevalier, Abschied, Afraid, Mutterlein, All That Is My Own.
