Following Fear, Slow Dazzle is another intense album from Velvet Underground founder John Cale. This 1975 release, faithfully reissued on 180g vinyl, blends deceptively mellow tracks like "Mr Wilson" with darker moments such as "Dirty Ass Rock'n'Roll." The album features standout songs like the raw "Guts" and a haunting cover of Elvis’s "Heartbreak Hotel," which remain powerful even 50 years later.
