Laurie Anderson – Big Science – LP (Coloured)

Nonesuch

Laurie Anderson’s 1982 debut album “Big Science”, returns to vinyl for the first time in thirty years with a new red vinyl edition due April 9 on Nonesuch Records. The vinyl includes the re-mastered original album first released on CD for the 25th anniversary of “Big Science” on Nonesuch in 2007.

At the time of its original release, the NME wrote of “Big Science”, “There’s a dream-like, subconscious quality about her songs which helps them work at deeper, secret levels of the psyche.” With instrumentation ranging from tape loops to found sounds to bag pipes, “Big Science”anticipated the tech-savvy beats, anything-goes instrumentation and sample-based nature of much contemporary electronic and dance music.
