LAURIE ANDERSON UNCHAINED
Is That A Big Science In Your Pocket Or WHAT?
October 1, 1982
The Time is now, with a little bit of yesterday and a lot of tomorrow thrown in for good measure. The place is America— the beautiful and the not-so-beautiful, constantly changing yet always the same. And the record is Laurie Anderson's Big Science, a stunning debut from a woman who promises to be one of the creative forces of the decade. Using music, poetry, film, slides, mime, anecdotes, photography, animation and a grab-bag of hightech toys like vocoders, harmonizers, and digital delays, Laurie Anderson is exploring what it means to be human in the techno/computer age, and the result is a multi-media vision as complex and awe-inspiring as America itself.
