Nelson Slater - Wild Angel (1976) [Hi-Res]

Nelson Slater’s album "Wild Angel," produced by Lou Reed, is regarded as a vital companion piece to the Velvet Underground’s legacy and Reed’s "Coney Island Baby" era. Despite stellar production and a visual aesthetic crafted by Mick Rock, the release’s primary flaw is identified as Slater’s lack of a compelling star persona. Musically, the album blends VU-style jangly guitars, psychedelic "underwater" effects, and melodic structures reminiscent of baroque pop. Critics praise Slater’s competent songwriting and Reed’s experimental production, suggesting that the work could have been a rock classic had the lead performer possessed a more distinct vocal presence.
