Cale, John – POPtical Illusion [2xLP ORANGE VINYL]– New LP

$ 34.00 $ 0.00
Cale 2024!  Like last year's Mercy, this one is a double LP.  8 sides in about a year's time, at age 80!  "Despite the album’s playful title, Cale’s second album in just over a year still contains the same feelings of fierce and inquisitive rage that were present in 2023 album MERCY. He remains angry, still incensed by the willful destruction that unchecked capitalists and unrepentant conmen have hoisted upon the wonders of this world and the goodness of its people. But this is not at all MERCY II, or some collection of castoffs, as throughout his career of more than six decades, Cale has never been much for repetition. His vanguard-shaping enthusiasms have shifted among ecstatic classicism and unbound rock, classic songcraft and electronic reimagination with proud restlessness...John Cale, the legendary musician who played with Lou Reed in The Velvet Underground and produced some of the most pivotal records in American music history like Nico, Patti Smith, and The Stooges, as well as a creator of some enduring records of his own, has always been on the periphery of greatness in the public eye."
