Reviews of Laurie Anderson's Big Science

Back to the Big Science page.


Big Science is essentially a chunk of the more elaborate and difficult four-part multi-media performance piece United States. But, that said, Big Science never sounds like a portion, it is in fact a meal in itself. The music is moody and minimalistic, and Anderson's wry observations are perspicacious, smartalecky and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. There have been numerous artists attempting work like this since Big Science; few, however, equal Anderson's panache. Not your average pop record. Oh yeah, "O Superman" is here in all its glory. ~ John Dougan, All-Music Guide
