Music for a New Society is an album by former Velvet Underground member John Cale. It was released in August 1982 on Island Records. It went in stark contrast with his previous few albums, which were packed with as much avant-garde noise as could be afforded, as it contained very minimalist instrumentation and a great deal of sonic space. All Music Guide has called it "Spare, understated, and perhaps a masterpiece."
