John Cale - Music For A New Society / M:FANS (2016)

A double CD release that includes the 1982 masterpiece Music for a New Society and its complete reworking M:FANS. 1982’s long out-of-print Music for a New Society has been completely re-mastered from the original tapes and overseen by John Cale. It includes three exclusive tracks, a previously unreleased recording "Library of Force,” and two out-takes from the original session. On M:FANS, Cale re-contextualizes the original songs into radical new forms to resonate with the digital age. It includes a new recording of “Back to the End,” a previously lost track from the original session.
