Hello Rudolph,
I must admit, I too found it a bit difficult to put on a pair of headphones and really listen to The Velvet Underground and Nico all the way through. However, as I was listening to the album I realized that I was hearing techniques being used that I had just started experimenting with myself, like purposely adding feedback.
I do think you are on to something when you allude to the fact that it helps to be in an altered state of thinking when listening to this album to truly appreciate it. When you can allow yourself to let go and let the music take you wherever it goes, no matter how gruesome or disturbing the path is. When you are sober, the music makes you go crazy, when you are crazy the music takes you on a journey.
Brian Best
