Great Album but I think Eno shines a little bit brighter on. I'm much more of a Cale fan but it is a fact. Great Stuff.thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456072966275194710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367859846495854541.post-42026377695796311792008-04-07T09:51:47.574-04:002008-04-07T09:51:47.574-04:00<I>Wrong Way Up</I> is one of my favorite albums for Spring & Summer, and with the weather finally getting warmer, I've been listening to it a lot these last few weeks. Poppy as hell, yeah, but exceptionally well-done pop, and what's wrong with that? And yeah, "Lay My Love" is a tremendous tune; less a song than a structure on which to hang potentially vast numbers of layered vocals and string parts—relentless variations, indeed. <BR/><BR/>Minimal, repetitive phrasing, harmonies that barely move—it's as if Philip Glass suddenly discovered syncopation. And when that vocal counter-melody comes in, so recognizably Cale, it's like a warm blanket. <BR/><BR/>Fun, yeah—and that was probably the major goal—but also rather elegant.Jack Feerickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06957899718721006732noreply@blogger.com
