    It is my favorite too; did you print it? I couldn't find a poster of it anywhere.

    The Gift is mixed so that the narration and the jam are on separate channels (which is ridicuously primitive, but that can be excused because stereo was such a new format back in 1967). If you have something like Audacity, you can isolate the channel containing the jam and move it to the center of the mix for an instrumental version. Berlin is excellent. The standard of songwriting on that album is peerless, and the arrangements are pretty good (less cheesy than Transformer sometimes gets). I'd also suggest The Blue Mask and Ecstasy for some slightly more recent albums.

    Good to see you warming to White Light/White Heat. I can understand your criticisms of The Gift, even though I like it. For me, the lack literary prowess in the words is conpensated for by Cale's delivery, and the jamming (I have a soft spot for that sort of thing). I don't think Lou Reed fully matured as a lyricist until quite a few years after leaving The Velvet Underground. I'd say Berlin is his first masterpiece in terms of pure songwriting. It's the audio experimentation that keeps me interested in VU more than the lyrics.

About Me

This account is from May of 2007, but I didn't actually start using it until May of 2009.


A little about me:

Some guy attending the University of California at Davis, studying economics and philosophy. Agnostic atheist and secular humanist. I consider myself a writer type (books were my first passion), but I obviously enjoy music a lot or I wouldn't be here.

Books that I approve of:
Douglas Hofstadter - Gödel, Escher, Bach
Cormac McCarthy - Blood Meridian
Thomas Pynchon - The Crying of Lot 49
Jorge Luis Borges - Complete Fictions
Fyodor Dostoevsky - Notes From Underground
Yukio Mishima - The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
