Nico's 1968 album "The Marble Index" takes its title from a line in Wordsworth's "The Prelude":
"The marble index of a mind for ever
Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone."
Her change of style from blond chanteuse of folk rock to a dark haired, black-clad dirge-like droning has been cited as the inspiration for the later Gothic Rock genre, though I don't think anything else sounds quite like Nico. ???

Bookwomble The extended edition has the track “Nibelungen“, which ties into my current reading of the Poetic Edda as it has early versions of the legends that later formed the Nibelungenlied.
