MINTY CLEAN 1972 first pressing vinyl the hardest to find John Cale album with the custom die-cut 'windows" cover designed by Andy Warhol
Main cog of the original Velvet Underground, & producer (Nico, Stooges)...John Cale's equisite workings are to be found in the ACADAMY OF PEARL ...
John Cale's first post-The Velvet Underground album, Vintage Violence, turned from the aggressive and rough path that band followed to a direction marked by a much more sophisticated, polished, and intelligent pop. The Academy in Peril marks another turning point, as Cale explores his classical training and background to create an album of well-crafted, temperate music.
John Cale's first solo avant-garde effort is a very singular work, divided in three kinds of pieces: the long keyboard sonatas (Brahms by the way, is very pretty), the drone-like orchestral symphonies (3 Orchestral Pieces) and the modernist sketches, respectively the marimba-driven exotic nightmare of King Harry, the jazzy dilemma of The Philosopher and the tattered melancholy of Days of Steam. The later kind is the most entertaining, the rest sounds very mature and compelling, elsewhere an amateurish feel is undeniable. Cale's influences are very marked. The soundtrack album to a movie that never existed. A great Sunday morning album, it takes more listenings to fully appreciate it, all the nuances involved are amazing ~ another great John Cale work...
