1994 studio album by John Cale & Bob Neuwirth
Last Day on Earth is a collaborative album between Welsh rock multi-instrumentalist John Cale, and American singer-songwriter Bob Neuwirth.[5] It was released in 1994 on MCA Records.[2] Recording of the album was completed in February 1994.[6]
Cale later said, "Superficially, I was thinking of it as a kind of a Brechtian landscape, and there were also elements of Blade Runner in it. There's a contradiction between all the longing that's going on - the lonesome kind of qualities – and the fact that it's a crowded piece, all the songs are sung by different characters."[7]
