1972年，脱离Velvet Underground的Lou Reed和另两位更早脱团的前团员John Cale跟Nico在巴黎重聚，面对一千位幸运的听众（和场外两千位挤不进去的歌迷），办了一场不插电演唱会，Lou Reed弹木吉他，JohnCale拉小提琴、弹钢琴，Nico则偶尔弹一架风琴。除了VU时代的歌曲，他们也唱了一些新写的作品。这场珍贵无比的演出实况，三十多年来一直以地下私酿录音(bootleg)的方式流传，在VU迷的心目中，是未发表作品的经典之作。到了2003年，这场实况终於有了正式版，不过是由一家不算有名的欧洲独立厂牌发行，只在欧洲贩售，让美国乐迷急得跳脚。

The central work in Words for the Dying is "The Falklands Suite," John Cale's belated attempt to canonize the Falkland Islands conflict through the poetry of Dylan Thomas. Delivered in six distinct parts (which include two musical interludes and an "Introduction" to herald the whole thing), the suite is a mix of refined classical arrangements -- courtesy of the Orchestra of Symphonic and Popular Music of Gosteleradio, USSR -- and Cale's unsuccessful attempts to translate Thomas' imagery through song. The arrangements are about as busy as an Irish butcher on a Friday, but with that comes a clarity of sound that makes the mood of the music transparent. This isn't a case of trying to prove that John Cale can write classical music -- we already know that -- just an example of using the right tools for the job. While the arrangements are often lovely and the Choir of Llandaff Cathedral Choir School is an inspired vehicle for Thomas' poetry, the words lose their power in the retelling. "Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed" is transported from paper to production safely, but it's unlikely that the poet had the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" in mind when he wrote Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night. This is followed by the two-part "Songs Without Words," a pair of solo piano pieces that won't displace the klavierstucke of Johannes Brahms anytime soon. The album ends with "The Soul of Carmen Miranda," which features Brian Eno and Neil Catchpole. It presages the music of Wrong Way Up and, despite being an effective and moody piece of avant-garde pop, has no earthly purpose. Perhaps Cale's own unusual hairstyle (which resembles a book of carpet samples more than anything) led him to re-evaluate the impact of an actress who could dance with ten pounds of fruit on her head. John Cale deserves credit for continuing to follow his own muse, but music about the Falklands War and Carmen Miranda is obscure even by avant-garde standards.

Recorded at Brian's Wilderness studios, Eno comes close to the style of Another Green World. Cale is as catchy as he's been since Honi Soit. The result is one of the best albums either one has ever made. This long-awaited re-issue has bonus tracks, new artwork, complete lyrics and extended liner notes.

2011 release, a five track EP from the singer, songwriter, producer and Rock icon best known for his work with Velvet Underground. Extra Playful conceives and executes more great ideas in 21 minutes than most musicians do in 10 years. It's Art-Rock, but energized; fun, smart and sexy. It recalls a time when nearly all Rock had to exhibit brain and heart as well as muscle, before the Oasis era of regression - and yet remains hotly topical and glisteningly modern. It's the work of a master.
