Laurie Anderson
Big Science
New York City, USA: Nonesuch Records, 2021
12" vinyl LP
Edition size unknown
In April of this year, Laurie Anderson’s 1982 debut album, Big Science, was made available on vinyl for the first time in thirty years. The reissue uses the remastered version of the LP first released on CD for the 25th anniversary in 2007, and is pressed onto bright red vinyl. In a review for the Guardian, Margaret Atwood writes:
"Big Science has never been more pertinent than it is right now. Have a listen. Confront the urgent questions. Feel the chill."
Tomorrow, Anderson will present the fourth in a series of six lectures on "the challenges we face as artists and citizens as we reinvent our culture with ambiguity and beauty." The series, titled Spending the War Without You: Virtual Backgrounds is part of the Norton Lecture Series, at Harvard. Tomorrow's episode is titled "The Road" and will consider technology, media hypnosis, radio, speed and invention.
