Slow dazzle [sound recording]

Cale, John2003
Music CDs
Following on quickly from 'Fear', and capitalising on that album's energy, 'Slow Dazzle' is another fiery release by Velvet Underground founder John Cale. Released in March 1975, initially, the album offers a false sense of mellow security: 'Mr Wilson', a tribute to Brian, the leader of Cale's beloved Beach Boys starts on a much sweeter note than 'Fear Is a Man's Best Friend', as does 'Taking It All Away'; by 'Dirty Ass Rock'n'Roll', 'Slow Dazzle' is off to darker terrain, business as usual. Cale, however, cannot resist a pop song and a ballad 'Ski Patrol' is a great two-minute vignette, and 'I'm Not the Loving Kind' is soul-baring.
