About
John Cale has always been a musician of the times, helping to usher in titanic shifts in sound and culture. The bleeding edge drones of his Sun Blindness Music opened the path to The Velvet Underground. The frantic rock of Fear and Slow Dazzle, not to mention his production with Patti Smith and the Stooges, framed a half-century of punk, post-punk, and art-rock to come. And his curiosity about the way electronics could be more than a gimmick in rock music served as an inspiration to an uncountable number of crucial scenes. Once again, on POPtical Illusion, Cale stands as a musician of these times. He looks at the orchestrated turmoil of recent history, furrows his brow in disgust, and then turns on his heels toward a future, even if he—like all of the rest of us, really—doesn’t know just what he’ll find or who exactly he’ll be there. He’s simply happy to be going toward it all.

Outstanding concert, he is still creating bew sounds
by Tes on 24/03/2025Town Hall Birmingham - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5Monster tunes, a wealth of drone sounds and a set that would rock Glastonbury.
A great show as always
by John Cale on 22/03/2025Royal Festival Hall - LondonRating: 5 out of 5As always a great show from John Cale. I really like the fact he plays songs completely differently to how they are on vinyl. He shows no sign of stopping despite his age and I for one hope he continues to tour for many years to come.
Excellent
