All Tomorrow's Parties / I'll Be Your Mirror
by The Velvet Underground & Nico
Reportedly Andy Warhol's favorite song by the group, 'All Tomorrow's Parties' offers a haunting, observational vignette of the eccentric socialites inhabiting The Factory. Lou Reed utilized an ostrich guitar tuning—where all strings are tuned to a single drone note—while John Cale provided repetitive, percussive piano motifs. Nico's cold, Germanic vocal delivery cemented the track's beautifully austere, detached atmosphere.
