Cale’s finest album imo. Have the CD but the Qobuz stream is terrific.

Bit of an unexpected joy this evening… Played as a result of hearing Cuddly Toy on a radio station earlier. Actually very enjoyable! New ProAcs doing very nicely as well…

Thanks Tony, this is a great place for not only finding new gems to listen too, but re-discovering old gems too, and long may it continue.

This has really shown the improvement of the 350s from the 300. Separation. Following all the lines. Ranglin’s guitar. Alexander’s piano. Bass line still there, tuneful but not dominant. Wonderful mix of musical genres

It’s a sublime album, the lyrics on side 1 are simply incredibly clever and insightful into teenage/late teenage angst of yesteryears.
Lyrics - Warm Wet Circle (a kiss, wet stain from a pint…)
On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins
Where ceremonies pause at the jewelers shop display
Feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes
Till they commit themselves to the muted journey home
And the pool player rests on another cue
Last nights hero picking up his dues
A honeymoon gambled on a ricochet
She’s staring at the brochures at the holidays
Chalking up a name in your hometown
Standing all your mates to another round
Laughing at the world till the barman wipes away the warm wet circles
The warm wet circles
I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths
A classroom’s shabby butterflies
Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes
Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts
And token proclamations
Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass
Sharing cigarettes with experience
With her giggling jealous confidantes
She faithfully traces his name
With quick bitten fingernails
Through the tears of condensation
That’ll cry through the night
As the glancing headlights of the last bus
Kiss adolescence goodbye
In a warm wet circle
Like a mothers kiss on your first broken heart
A warm wet circle
Like a bullet hole in Central Park
A warm wet circle
And I’ll always surrender
To the warm wet circles
She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse
Giving it all away before it’s too late
She’ll let a lover’s tongue move in a warm wet circle
Giving it all away, showing no shame
She’ll take a mother’s kiss on her first broken heart
A warm wet circle
She’ll realise that she played her part
In a warm wet circle
