When building songs around another’s words, the results often sound forced, but Cale does a magnificent job of compressing Thomas’s lyricism into neat melodic phrases, themselves just components of a vast harmonic mega-structure scored for the USSR’s Orchestra of Symphonic \u0026amp; 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’s deep-seated compositional genius, and unobtrusive but resonant production from Brian Eno.” Kiran Sande\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58218091938175,"sku":null,"price":14.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0525\/5551\/files\/201374899412_1ba94afa-1e2c-4cfa-8dbb-9c70e6adc2c2.jpg?v=1787207184","url":"https:\/\/thevinyltable.com\/products\/lp-john-cale-words-for-the-dying","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
