Academy in Peril

• Track Listing

After leaving the Velvet Underground and producing seminal LPs by Nico and the Stooges, Cale began his solo career in 1970. This 1972 LP merges rock with classical in an intoxicating way that was leagues apart from other such fusions of the day. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is featured as you hear "The Philosopher," "Brahms," "3 Orchestral Pieces," "King Harry," the title track, and more! Culture Factory USA.
