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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on clear vinyl with printed inner sleeve and digital download card.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322843738489,"sku":null,"price":16.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/Screenshot2023-07-10at19.23.28_63a6429e-3671-4e22-82f1-6e9fe5d8270b.png?v=1787903517","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/john-cale-words-for-the-dying","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
