"I know it's probably hard for a John Cale fan that may not know this record to accept the guy dropping his acoustical piano and violin
for an electric guitar, and issuing what's most probably the most brutal/ straightforward live album ever- but it would be a crime to
ignore this masterpiece, which runs at full voltage all the way down. Captain Hook is probably the best Cale performance ever,
Mercenaries the best anti-war song ever written, but anyway the whole album is an astonishing experience, provided of course that you
do know how to pump up the volume for your speakers.” Silent Way
