His quarterâ€"century solo career since leaving VU has been nothing short of brilliant. Over the course of 20 or so solo albums and collaborations with the likes of Reed and Brian Eno, Cale has covered every piece of ground imaginable, from dark, unsettling rock and roll to moody art rock and tuneful pop. He leans more toward the latter on Walking On Locusts, which recalls the gentle approach of his 1973 masterpiece, Paris 1919, and at times, has the tropical flavor of 1985‘s Artificial Intelliâ€" repetition to new l rvesiih! extremes.
