Album Review

Cale and Neuwirth were commissioned by the Art at St. Ann's project in New York to produce this song cycle, which keys on vignettes about travel. Its spoken-word-plus-music format makes it a cross between an impressionistic play and a new age music album, but that's a far more listenable approach than some of Cale's experiments.
William Ruhlmann, Rovi
