About this album

© Nonesuch (1990) Released: 25 Oct 1990 10 tracks (44:18)
Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. Records. It is best known for the 8-minute epic “O Superman”, which reached #2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson’s work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 4-LP box set and book in 1984. United States Live was originally a performance piece, in which music was only one element. After Big Science music played a larger role in Anderson’s work.
