The Velvet Underground
White Light/White Heat (Lp)
2018 repress; 2008 release. While 1967's Velvet Underground & Nico was a part of Andy Warhol's global artistic vision, 1968's White Light/White Heat
was free of all Warholian influence, so in a way it could be thought of
as another debut album. Here the music was left to fester on its own,
with no artistic visionary interfering or trying to create a soundtrack
for his pop art, and the Velvets filled that void with an album that is
an aural subway car full of drunkards, junkies and whores rumbling
through the bowels of NYC with a one way ticket to oblivion. Includes 3
bonus tracks.
