In 1982, Music For A New Society sounded exactly like its title: something futuristic, a new kind of songwriting exercise. Now, it sounds better than ever, packed with stark, almost ghostly details and sounds that whir and flutter in and out of focus. M:FANS is a themed re-imagining of John Cale's classic 1982 album, Music For A New Society. By sampling the original record in the radical reworking, Cale presents an interesting relationship between the old and the new.
