Oh, and it reminds me of another Cale achievement: he originally did the arrangement of Hallelujah that Buckley covered, and then everyone else did, including Coen himself later.

Yes, that's a great one. Other than that, I like most of his albums from the 70's, more or less. I actually like Music For a New Society as well.
Those really early recordings are pretty interesting, since it's fun to hear how he was before his time in many senses, but the production is a bit to low for my taste and therefore it's nothing I listen to very much.
The best stuff by him, not counting The Velvets, has to be his work on Nico's albums however.
