The Academy In Peril, John Cale, 1972

File under discoveries. I can recommend this album without reservation. The music is beautiful and thoughtful. Cale has a sense of humor about himself and it shows here. The academy is in peril because the rockers have invaded it (the very thing that might blow a little fresh air into the old place). Not sure who Cale thought would be the audience for this. That’s the trouble with classicists.
