john cale - Sun Blindness Music
Table Of The Elements revisits 1960s New York on this new release of John Cale's Sun Blindness Music, unearthed from Tony Conrad's tape collection. This album collects three of the Velvet Underground man's more experimental compositions: first up is the forty-minute title track, recorded in 1968 using a Vox Continental organ. The title proves to be appropriate enough - the harmonics created by shifting intervals within the drone can really scorch, and while it's not always an easy listen you can't help but get sucked in, not least because it's such an early example of a musical form that's still regarded as being at the cutting edge of the underground today. 'Summer Heat' was recorded even earlier, in August 1965. This piece is a fuzzy guitar chug that similarly plays with overtones cast by distorted signals, but you can still make out some trance-inducing, proto space-rock chord patterns at the heart of it all. Finally, 'The Second Fortress' is a more mysterious work, sounding like an exercise in oscillator treatments and ring modulation. This last piece in particular invites parallels with the more academic electronic music of the era, and makes for a rather revelatory listening experience when you consider the breadth and diversity of Cale's 1960s repertoire.
