AURA
Another small but exquisite label, featuring two of music's most exquisite ladies, Nico and Annette Peacock. Nico came to fame in the 1960's with the Velvet Underground, and later recorded some classic solo albums, including Chelsea Girl and The End. Her rich Teutonic voice (she's German by birth) and harmonium accompaniment gave her music a hymn-like quality. For her first Aura album. Drama Of Exile, she uses a conventional band, spinning a palpable atmosphere with some of her best singing in years.
Annette Peacock has functioned on the fringes of rock and jazz for some time, often living only by her wits and the charity of friends. Her 'l'm The One' attracted the attention of David Bowie and Mick Ronson, both of whom covered it. Annette deserves a wider audience, but she's not about to compromise herself to get it. Her new album is entitled The r Perfect Palace and it's in the 1981 1 ; Book Of. Rock'.
