32) "The Mid-Morning Recording"                    Laurie Anderson-"Big Science"
"Golden cities...golden towns" She is by far one of the most thought provoking artists of the past 40 years. Inventive, creative and tonight's album just scratches the surface. Anyone who knows me knows that I really like Laurie Anderson. From my very first listen, I could really understand her atmospheric qualities. I also noticed the great storyteller she really is. The first thing I heard by her was her box set 'United States Live Parts I-IV". Someone made a cassette tape recording of it for me with the words, "Here, I think you'll like this." I first heard it under headphones early one morning at the beginning of the nineties, and it blew me away. I couldn't believe someone decided on creating a concert that lasted two nights, with two tickets, and two separate performances. The Warner Bros. recording for 'United States Live' stems from a two night performance held at the Brooklyn Academy in 1982, and gladly, I've already played it in it's entirety over two weeks of MFL. I believe it to be her best and most engaging work to date. It's so...big. Tonight's album is at its core a selection of songs composed for the four parts of 'United States'. I'm sure Warner Bros. wanted a studio album, but after a surprise hit, they decided that they could put out a five LP set by her as well. Before the box set, 'Big Science' merely showed the highlights, but it is a great document in its own right. Since this CD has been re-released, I figured it a good time to play it. This record is a good look back on her beginnings. I respect her artistic abilities in every sense of the word. She was even the very first, and to my knowledge the only, artist-in-residence for NASA. How cool is that? You should check out the Wiki page about 'United States Live' along with the links on that page for a ton of information on this and all of her projects. Right now you can go to her website www.laurieanderson.com and check out a flash site dedicated to the re-release of this mornings' recording. I also dedicate this recording to my hero John Peel, the first person who played "O Superman" on the radio, and subsequently made Laurie a star in the U.K.
