Maybe a little weird music, but "Big Science" remains (for me) a pleasant album to listen!


Laurie Anderson; who does not remember her "O Superman". The rest of the album is also worth to be heard..
But it will not be everybody's cup of tea :-)
Mastering was done by Bob Ludwig; Enjoy this audiophile album!

Review:

After 20+ years of listening to it, I still come back to this album and find it as fresh now as it ever was.
The music on this album is full of striking sounds and imagery and at its centre the cool,
crisp, mostly spoken vocal delivery and I do love that voice.

The thing I feel that is most often overlooked is the humour in the imagery, many of the tracks
raise a smile or a chuckle and may confound your expectations.
The music can be wonderfully calming one moment but will have you bolt upright the next.

Surprisingly for a mostly 'electronic' album it hasn't dated at all, perhaps because it's
all done with a delicate touch and great melodies will always stand the test of time.
