John Cale does not stop. Last year saw the release of POPtical Illusion, the Paris 1919 Deluxe Edition and The Academy in Peril reissue, and this year kicked off with a month-long European and UK tour, including an 83rd birthday celebration in Denmark.
MiXology (volume 1) acts as a companion release to the aforementioned POPtical Illusion and 2023’s MERCY featuring previously unreleased songs and alternate versions taken from the albums’ sessions. Tracks 1-4 are from MERCY and in line with the album’s collaborative spirit featuring guest appearances from Tony Allen and Tei Shi; tracks 5-7 are from POPtical Illusion.
