Founding member of the Velvet Underground, then a producer, 

collaborator, solo artist, and soundtrack composer.

While John Cale is one of the most famous and, in his own way, influential underground rock musicians, 

he is also one of the hardest to pin down stylistically. Much has been made of his schooling in classical 

and avant-garde music, yet much of what he's recorded has been decidedly song-oriented, dovetailing close 

to the mainstream at times. Terming him a forefather of punk and new wave isn't exactly accurate either. 

Those investigating his work for the first time under that premise may be surprised at how consciously accessible 

much of his output is, at times approaching (but not quite attaining) a fairly "normal" rock sound. 

There is always a tension between the experimental and the accessible in Cale's solo recordings, 

meaning that he usually finds himself (not unwillingly) caught between the cracks: too weird for commercial success, 

and yet not really weird or daring enough to place him among the top rank of rock's innovators

  Taking a sidestep from his earliest solo efforts into an exploration of his classical training and influences

 -- thus the title -- Cale on Academy creates a set of songs that probably bemused more 

than one listener at the time of release. The predominantly instrumental release, which finds him working 

with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on two tracks, steers away from the more grotesque classical/rock fusions 

at the time to find an unexpectedly happy and often compelling balance between the two sides. 

Cale has good fun applying rock arrangement and production tricks: 

compression, gentle flanging, drum rhythms, and so forth...(AllMusic)
