	John Cale
		John Cale (born March 9, 1942) is a Welsh musician, songwriter and record producer.
		Cale was born in Garnant[?] in the heavily industrial Amman Valley, and Welsh is his first language.
		With John Cage he participated in an 18-hour piano playing marathon, and, more significantly, he played in La Monte Young's ensemble the Theater of Eternal Music[?] (also known as the Dream Syndicate[?], which should not be confused with the 1980s band of the same name).

	John Cale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Davies Cale (born December 4, 1940) is a Welsh musician, songwriter and record producer.
		More significantly, Cale played in La Monte Young's ensemble the Theater of Eternal Music (also known as the Dream Syndicate, which should not be confused with the 1980s band of the same name).
		Cale's cover of "Hallelujah" was used in the 2001 film Shrek; however musician Rufus Wainwright's performance of the song was included on the film's official soundtrack instead of Cale's.

	John Cale - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: While John Cale is one of the most famous and, in his own way, influential underground rock musicians, he is also one of the hardest to pin down stylistically.
		There is always a tension between the experimental and the accessible in Cale's solo recordings, meaning that he usually finds himself (not unwillingly) caught between the cracks: too weird for commercial success, and yet not really weird or daring enough to place him among the top rank of rock's innovators.
		Cale never abandoned his production activities, and indeed a few of the albums with his credits are destined to endure as more important statements than anything he's done on his own.

	John Cale, Fear
		Small surprise, then, that one of that decade's most mercurial talents, one John Cale, would reemerge from the dross to reintroduce himself as an artist fluent in the possibilities of the sixties tempered by a post-Watergate paranoia, albeit one of a more personal sort.
		In one sense a bouncy pop song, Cale creates an atmosphere on "Fear" that directly undercuts any sense of innocence inherent in the melody; one such moment combines the words of "We're already dead, but not yet in the ground," with a cheery echo of "not yet in the grou-ound!" by a chorus of girls.
		And lest one thinks that he is going all Billy Joel on us, Cale concludes several of the songs with a shrieking and banging hair-raising enough to frighten awake even the most self-absorbed couples toasting their 401(k) plans at the back table.

	Robert's Review of John Cale, Laureen Hoffman at Cat's Cradle
		Cale started with the Velvet Underground in the sixties and has proceeded over the next 30 years to release numerous albums of punk, hard rock, pop, and avant-garde music.
		Cale came to the stage and sat in front of a baby grand while his two sidemen joined in on mandolin and banjo.
		Cale didn't drift much into avant garde instead he focused on working with the band to provide a solid set that supported a strong collection of songs by one of our better eccentric songwriters/composers.

	John Cale - HoboSapiens - EMI - CD
		John Cale produced memorable work with 1973's Paris 1919 with movement into punk with his CBGB's recorded Sabotage Live and threading work that includes 1992's intriguing Songs For the Dying.
		Cale has had his feet mired in the muck of this self-inspection and outward appraisal for many years but never has he entered into it with a more musically pleasant and less darkly ambient set such as is HoboSapiens.
		John Cale, much wiser and more adept, is still in touch with his audience, lyrically and musically.

	John Cale- No Ordinary Drone
		Cale is excellent at drawing literary images; that is, using language to convey a particular image or mood.
		John Cale's songs are typically quite simple, but he adds subtle and unusual arrangements and twists to them.
		I suppose it's that Cale has never "sold out" and is continuing to create fresh material, while these others have fallen into a rut, or at least lost much of their earlier enthusiasm and energy.

	John Cale - Voyager, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		John Cale should not be confused with singer and songwriter J.J. Cale or composer John Cage.
		He sings on a few songs, plays bass guitar, piano and organ and co-wrote some of the material, but perhaps his most distinctive contributions are the electrically amplified viola drones which add greatly to the overall atmosphere of the records.
		His live performances often fitted with the nascent punk rock developing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean: they were often loud, abrasive and confrontational - during one gig he chopped the head off a dead chicken with a meat cleaver, and his band walked offstage in protest.

	An Interview with John Cale
		Cale: There's a certain amount of discipline that I learned while I was studying that comes in handy.
		Cale: It differs whether you're on stage or in the studio.
		Cale: No, I mean it didn't bother me at all but it was just a strange, a very awkward sort of mix happening.

	Metroactive Music \| John Cale
		Since he was bounced from the group some 30 years ago, Cale has created alternately shocking and provocative, seductive and subtle, music.
		With instrumentation that ranges from steel-pedal guitar to Moroccan drumming to string quartets, this is unadulterated Cale, cakewalking the tightrope between accessibility and the avant-garde.
		Vastly underrated as a tunesmith, Cale is an intriguing talespinner with more than a nodding acquaintance with beat maintenance.

		John Cale is staying in a white faced hotel in South Kensington.
		There in the background was John, bending and distorting notes on the viola so that you can hear the smack flow in "Heroin" and "go rushing on a run" right along with the music.
		John plays a song at the piano and comparisons with Randy Newman are not unfair to either of them.

		Cale has called on every artistic instinct from deep within his soul to create what may well be the defining album of his career.
		In short, a typical John Cale album with at least four masterpieces in the form of Satisfied, In A Flood, Gravel Drive and Perfect, a lot that is good, like Woman, Wasteland and Turn The Lights On, and some unnecessary indulgence.
		John Cale is in peak form as a master musician.

	Amazon.com: Paris 1919: Music: John Cale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		John Cale has one of the richest resumes in pop, with experience in avant-garde music even before he met Lou Reed and they formed the Velvet Underground.
		Cale's intellect and imagination (and, again, his humor) are powerful tools - he pulls it off nicely, that which might be handled clumsily by an artist less deft.
		Cale's singing on 1919 had a world weary distance to it, which suited the reflective jabberwocky of the songs; stretched out vowells on,'planing lakes', 'elephants that sing','looking out from here at half past France.' It was far from banal music, however saccharine the orchestral moves from strings, viola & piano Cale painted.

	John Cale: Paris 1919: Pitchfork Record Review
		John Cale's 1973 album Paris 1919 has long been justly celebrated as the most accessible and most purely beautiful record of his storied, multi-faceted career.
		Just as importantly, and for perhaps the last time in his career, Cale was able to approach the ambitious project with a distinct freedom from audience expectation.
		Cale also employed the UCLA Symphony Orchestra to flesh out his sophisticated, piano-based compositions, and their dramatic arrangements furnish Paris 1919 with much of its stately, haunting grandeur.

		While John Cale is one of the most famous and, in his own way, influential underground rock musicians, he is also one of the hardest to pin down stylistically.
		Yet Cale was ousted from the band in an apparent power play by Lou Reed in the summer of 1968.
		Well received both on record and in performance, it may have been one of the factors that finally caused the pair to bury the hatchet and reform the Velvet Underground for a 1993 live European tour (and live album).

	Al Weisel - John Cale
		John Cale sits in a restaurant in lower Manhattan, just around the corner from where he, Lou Reed, and the late Sterling Morrison lived during the Velvet Underground's heyday in the ‘60s.
		He blithely tries to ignore the ear-splitting caterwauls of a brood of children sitting next to us with the same expression of bemused detachment he must have worn while suffering through the VU's brief, unhappy reunion three years ago.
		But nothing seems to faze Cale, who, with his shorn bleached-blond locks and a deep tan covering his craggy face, looks relaxed and unflappable.

		From his participation in minimalist godfather LaMonte Young's groundbreaking '60s work to his key role in creating the darkly hypnotic Velvet Underground, John Cale was a trailblazer before he ever even embarked on a solo career.

	John Cale - BlackAcetate:
		HoboSapiens saw Cale liberated by the potential of Pro Tools, which allowed him to harness a variety of sounds to make music that was unachievable via traditional analog recording.
		John Cale's current listening includes Gorillaz, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and most of the music emanating from the production powerhouses of Dre and Pharrell: “I love the working atmosphere Dre generates,” he enthuses, “it's a music factory and that's something I aspire to”.
		For the most part, these artists demonstrate that the musical eclecticism Cale has championed for four decades is alive and well.

	Perfect Sound Forever: John Cale interview/overview
		Cale, though he has consistently made braver choices and bolder, deeper, richer work than most of the rockers whose albums and myths he has helped fashion, seems to have decided long ago not to seek the easy respectability so many of his fellows currently enjoy.
		A gifted pianist and composer, Cale was supposed to have been groomed for a life in conservatories, and his teachers at Goldsmiths’ scolded him for his baffling fascination with the avant-garde.
		Cale had a hand in many of the best albums of the 1970's: The Stooges, Modern Lovers, and Horses, which he produced, along with Nico’s still-overlooked masterpieces The Marble Index and Desertshore; and his own Paris 1919, Fear, Slow Dazzle, Helen of Troy and Sabotage certainly rank among the very best rock albums ever made.
