I'm a huge fan of home recordings and this is the master at work. He's a little doped up on goofballs but still has all the magnetism of early velvet underground.
Cale describes this re-issue as not merely "something for the sake of an anniversary or racking up a catalogue favorite - but finding new treasures and highlighting what made it special in the first place."
On 'Slow Dazzle', Cale sounds like a jaded Brian Ferry whose syrupy croon is sliding downhill into a Sadian croak, a perfect fit for the songs of loss, betrayal and emotional damage gathered here.
In stark contrast to the mellow folky chelsea girl this john cale produced record is shrieking and complex. if you like transcendental meditations from purgatory or the lighthouse from robert eggers buy this!
