{quote}That’s an interesting question: why is so special to you? I suppose the thing is, you know, musical education , as a human being, especially with the culture that we have in England, is vital really and I suppose it sort of defines your character, the people you hang out with, the interests. You know, it is a sort of look into your psyche, if you like, and I don’t know whether it’s a good or bad point that the album I’ve picked is Nico The Marble Index. I think I have always been drawn to groups that are very, very difficult and Nico musically on her own when she worked with John Cale was always quite a difficult – what you’d term difficult to listen to or difficult to interpret musically.{quote}Peter Hook: Photographed at home, south Manchester,Nico: The Marble Index released 1968Peter Hook
