Artificial Intelligence

John Cale

A cold, synthetic snapshot of 1985. Brittle drum machines and paranoid synths provide a jagged backdrop for some of Cale's most cynical and weary songwriting.

It's John Cale doing 80s synth-pop but with a lot more cocaine and paranoia than the radio hits.

A cold, neon-lit anxiety that balances 80s pop sheen with deep-seated intellectual exhaustion.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the weary, melodic chorus of Dying on the Vine where the cynicism briefly breaks.
The frantic, nonsensical energy of Satellite Walk as the drum machine pushes against the vocal delivery.
The way the backing vocals on Everytime the Dogs Bark create a haunting, robotic counterpoint to Cale's lead.
