He remains angry, still incensed by the willful destruction that unchecked capitalists and unrepentant con men have hoisted upon the wonders of this world and the goodness of its people. But this is not at all MERCY II, or some collection of castoffs, as throughout his career of more than six decades, Cale has never been much for repetition. His vanguard-shaping enthusiasms have shifted among ecstatic classicism and unbound rock, classic song-craft and electronic re-imagination with proud restlessness.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003eAnd so, on POPtical Illusion, he foregoes the illustrious cast to burrow mostly alone into mazes of synthesizers and samples, organs and pianos, with words that, as far as Cale goes, constitute a sort of swirling hope, a sage insistence that change is yet possible. Produced by Cale and longtime artistic partner Nita Scott, POPtical Illusion is the work of someone trying to turn toward the future – exactly as Cale always has.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description--general\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklisting-columns view-more-visible\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"plainlist\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    1 - God Made Me Do It (don't ask me again)\u003cbr\u003e    2 - Davies and Wales\u003cbr\u003e    3 - Calling You Out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e   Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    1 - Edge of Reason\u003cbr\u003e    2 - I'm Angry\u003cbr\u003e    3 - How We See The Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e   Side C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    1 - Company Commander\u003cbr\u003e    2 - Setting Fires\u003cbr\u003e    3 - Shark-Shark (Vinyl Mix)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003cstrong\u003e Side D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    1 - Funkball the Brewster\u003cbr\u003e    2 - Laughing In My Sleep\u003cbr\u003e    3 - There Will Be No River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Domino Record Co.\u003cbr\u003eCatalog No: LP-DS-178IE\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 0887832017839\u003cbr\u003eGenre:Rock\u003cbr\u003eNo of Discs: 2\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 6\/14\/2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC:  887832017839\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"John Cale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45298658181340,"sku":null,"price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4443\/0495\/files\/4326061-3134703.jpg?v=1776192823","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylprovisions.com\/products\/john-cale-poptical-illusion-2lp-copy","provider":"Vinyl Provisions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
