 Coolness: 72125 | i've been listening to the FEAR album by John Cale (formerly of VU). i like it. cale produced the first stooges album. he has also worked with Brian Eno.
[ www.savetherobot.com ] from [ rollingstone.com ] John Cale was born on March 9, 1942 into a South Wales working-class family andand grew up playing the piano and viola. While studying experimental music at London University in the early '60s, he met American classical composer Aaron Copeland, who got Cale a scholarship to study with the Boston University Orchestra. In the fall of 1963 Cale relocated to New York and began performing in various avante-garde music projects before hooking up with vocalist/guitarist Lou Reed, with whom he founded thelegendary rock band the Velvet Underground in early 1965. Playing bass, viola, andkeyboards, Cale was largely responsible for the band's droning sound, while Reed wrote the lyrics; soon the two began to argue over the band's direction, and Cale left the group shortly after they recorded White Light/White Heat in 1968. Cale began a career in production, working with the Stooges and former Velvet Undergroundcollaborator Nico, simultaneously preparing material for a solo career. Cale began his solo career in 1970 with Vintage Violence, a rather traditional,introspective singer-songwriter album. His next work, 1971's Church of Anthrax,was an abstract, almost ambient collaboration with minimalist composer Terry Rileythat was mostly instrumental. Moving to Reprise Records, Cale recorded the symphonic1972 album Academy in Peril, followed in 1973 with the haunting melodic pop album Paris 1919, considered one of his best. Meanwhile Cale continued workingfor Warner/Reprise as an in-house producer and A&R man, working with, among others,Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and pop singer Jennifer Warnes. In 1974 Cale signed a multi-album deal with Britain's Island Records, who released hisnext three, more rock-oriented albums: Fear (1974), Slow Dazzle (1975)and Helen of Troy (1975). These albums were not distributed well in the U.S.,though tracks were released on the 1977 compilation Guts. Cale's live showsbecame increasingly wild; at one performance he killed a chicken on stage, causingmembers of his band to quit. During this period Cale continued moonlighting as anindependent producer, working with Patti Smith on her acclaimed debut albumHorses, the new wave pop group Squeeze, and even the British punk band Sham 69.He also performed with fellow producer/composer Brian Eno on a few of Eno's earlyrecordings. |
