John Cale: discussing his new album

Here Comes The Flood — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:34:00 GMT

John Cale about his new album on the Clash Music website:

Being my first album in a while I wanted to make sure it was a strong individual effort that was a showcase for my band and my own personal style of playing. (...) There are a number of new bands that apart from their fresh energy also show that awkward musical styles wear very easily on the ears - there are always unnerving new genres popping up but within rock and roll this persistent characteristic is always a sign of longevity.

as a producer, you've got to be a catalyst, an ally, a co-conspirator. sometimes you need to introduce conflict.' - john cale in his autobiography. film directors have always been lionised by their industry and by fans who made household names of ford, hitchcock and spielberg. record producers, on the other hand, have by-and-large laboured in near-anonymity outside the music business and the most devoted of followers. to help remedy that situation ace have instigated their producers series, focusing on the studio output of jack nitzsche, jerry ragovoy, kim fowley, phil spector, brian wilson, martin hannett and other visionaries who lived to bring the sounds in their heads to the grooves of a record. another master of the art was john cale, whose work as a producer and arranger they spotlight on this 75-minute 20-tracker. far from anonymous as a cutting-edge performer, cale has enjoyed a lower profile in his parallel role as a producer throughout his lengthy career. spanning 40 years, our collection includes everything from the proto-punk of the stooges and modern lovers to left-field pop princesses lio and cristina. compilation and notes by mick patrick and neil dell.
