    Other albums produced by John Cale were Iggy & the Stooges' first
    (1969) and Patti Smith's `Horses' (1975) -- both landmarks in the
    development of new music, and both bearing the unmistakable `Mark of
    Cale' -- a disturbing, slow-burning intensity that can grow into an
    insane controlled frenzy of unbelievable depth.

    Most destructive violist ever...

    Unfortunately, though I know he produced many other bands, I have no
    idea who they were. Can anybody out there help? 

    As for albums featuring John Cale, I can highly recommend his abrasive
    `Guts' (1977) as well as his strange collaboration with Nico, Manzanera,
    and Eno, `The End' (1974), which was discussed recently in this newsgroup
    unless I have been hallucinating. The poorly titled Vintage Violence
    isn't at all -- perhaps your mother would like it.

    He has lots more, though, and I certainly haven't heard it -- anyone else?
