At the opposite end of the musical spectrum is the work that John Cale
did with the singer-songwriter Nick Drake, who died in '74, I believe.
The Bryter Layter album featured some of the most introspective,
laid-back music I've ever heard, with a rock-solid undercurrent keeping
the whole presentation legit.  Cale produced several of the songs, and
played spine-chilling viola, Hammond organ, and glockenspiel on a
couple.  All in all, it's a facet of Cale I haven't seen in his other
work, and makes all the abrasive stuff a lot easier to swallow.
