Nick Nicely

Nick Nicely - real name Nick Laurien - is a studio-based musician from London, UK (though born in Greenland), mainly active during the early 80s. Although often described as psychedelic, his music is not retro and has little in common with paisley revivalist bands. Nick's first single in 1980 was the classic D.C.T. Dreams - a trippy but catchy electro-pop single which received a lot of airplay, but did not chart in the UK although it reached number 32 in Holland. A follow-up - the more overtly psychedelic Hilly Fields (1892)- came out in January 1982, but was less successful.
