He remains angry, still incensed by the willful destruction that unchecked capitalists and unrepentant conmen have hoisted upon the wonders of this world and the goodness of its people. But this is not at all MERCY II, or some collection of castoffs, as throughout his career of more than six decades, Cale has never been much for repetition. His vanguard-shaping enthusiasms have shifted among ecstatic classicism and unbound rock, classic songcraft and electronic reimagination with proud restlessness. And so, on POPtical Illusion, he foregoes the illustrious cast to burrow mostly alone into mazes of synthesizers and samples, organs and pianos, with words that, as far as Cale goes, constitute a sort of swirling hope, a sage insistence that change is yet possible. Produced by Cale and longtime artistic partner Nita Scott, POPtical Illusion is the work of someone trying to turn toward the future ¨C exactly as Cale always has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod Made Me Do It (Don¡¯t Ask Me Again)\u003cbr\u003eDavies and Wales\u003cbr\u003eCalling You Out\u003cbr\u003eEdge of Reason\u003cbr\u003eI¡¯m Angry\u003cbr\u003eHow We See the Light\u003cbr\u003eCompany Commander\u003cbr\u003eSetting Fires\u003cbr\u003eShark-Shark\u003cbr\u003eFunkball the Brewster\u003cbr\u003eAll to the Good\u003cbr\u003eLaughing in My Sleep\u003cbr\u003eThere Will Be No River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FiQ9Xt9hU3c?si=zEDCDd6oJA5sgnsU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Colored Vinyl","offer_id":54253309100373,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":54253309133141,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/9711\/0869\/files\/PopticalIllusion_480x_png.webp?v=1782884681","url":"https:\/\/vinylalpine.com\/products\/cale-john-poptical-illusion","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
