Artificial Intelligence (John Cale album)

Artificial Intelligence is a 1985 album by John Cale. After producing Nico's Camera Obscura, Cale took her band, The Faction, and with a couple of additional musicians recorded his own album. Following the chaotic period during which the album (and the previous two) were recorded, John and Risé's daughter Eden was born, which promptly caused Cale to kick his addictions to alcohol and cocaine, and to temporarily abandon rock/pop records and band performances in favor of other projects (until 1996's Walking on Locusts).
