You might actually have the world’s record for most listens to this song. I can’t imagine anyone else on the planet has been able to get through it more than a handful of times. Great job with your posts. Many are fascinatingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367859846495854541.post-81090957764972664312007-12-07T21:31:51.197-05:002007-12-07T21:31:51.197-05:00Ok, I stand corrected. I missed “Angel of Death” which probably is the standout track on the album. However, before I could listen to it, I needed to use some music editing software to eliminate the first three seconds of the song. I can’t bear to hear “sushi for Shabu” when “Angel of Death” begins. The song is superb without the sushi intro!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367859846495854541.post-52550581850897559452007-12-07T19:08:08.911-05:002007-12-07T19:08:08.911-05:00Aww. "Paradise Nevada" is a fun little tune. "Streets Come Alive," adult contemporary production aside, is enjoyable. "Angel of Death" is top-quality, beautiful, unimpeachable. It's a shame the album starts with such awful stuff or else people might give it more of a chance.<BR/><BR/>And, hey. I listened to this track dozens of times in preparation to writing that post. Then again "music for interrogations" is practically my specialty...Inverarityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09838650110847975337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367859846495854541.post-52639920454968135282007-12-07T11:08:18.601-05:002007-12-07T11:08:18.601-05:00As much as I like even the most obscure Cale music, I must put this one is the non-listenable category. The CIA should use this song (and much of “The Last Day on Earth” for that matter) as an interrogation tactic. The thought of this song being played over and over would cause even the most hardened terrorist to break. How this ever saw the light of day is amazing. The only tracks worth salvaging (in my opinion) are “Broken Hearts” and the completely instrumental track (#10) that would seem to fit better on the Paris S’eveille Soundtrack. Ocean Life and Old China are not too bad but the rest of the album is probably the worst stuff Cale has ever released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367859846495854541.post-69267929780466511602007-12-05T13:35:08.762-05:002007-12-05T13:35:08.762-05:00Oh, sweet Jesus. I had to turn it off after 90 seconds. It sounded like nothing so much as a lesser Stan Ridgway solo track.Jack Feerickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06957899718721006732noreply@blogger.com
