John Cale Words For The Dying (CLEAR VINYL) Records & LPs New

Description: John Cale Words For The Dying (CLEAR VINYL) Records & LPs New Item Description First time vinyl repress of a John Cale album originally released on the Opal label in 1989, produced by Brian Eno. ‚ÄúWords For The Dying has at its heart The Falklands Suite, Cale‚Äôs baroque if heartfelt response to the Anglo-Argentinian War, which finds him setting the poems of his beloved Dylan Thomas to music. When building songs around another‚Äôs words, the results often sound forced, but Cale does a magnificent job of compressing Thomas‚Äôs lyricism into neat melodic phrases, themselves just components of a vast harmonic mega-structure scored for the USSR‚Äôs Orchestra of Symphonic & Popular Music of Gostelradio. A project that could easily have collapsed under the weight of its own ambition is instead a late masterpiece, thanks to Cale‚Äôs deep-seated compositional genius, and unobtrusive but resonant production from Brian Eno.‚Äù Kiran Sande A1.
