Listen Closely: Laurie Anderson - Big Science (1982)
The hosts of the Nialler9 Podcast (Niall Byrne and Andrea Cleary) in conjunction with The Big Romance present the Listen Closely series of listening parties, a night featuring a focus album from an artist we love on the last Wednesday of the month.
To accompany the monthly listening party on Wednesday February 28th \u2013 7.30pm @ The Big Romance, we present a Nialler9 Podcast episode all about this month's chosen album....
This month:
Laurie Anderson \u2013 Big Science (1982)\u201cThis is the time/and this is the record of the time.\u201d
An album that was ahead of its time upon release, Big Science draws from Anderson\u2019s multi-media performance art piece United States I-IV, and presents an experimental avant-garde electronics , art-rock and spoken word prophetic dissection of 80s America that spawned a surprising pop hit with the towering O Superman.
Andrea takes the lead on why this album is noteworthy and important.
Listen Closely is a chance for the music heads, to appreciate a modern classic album on the Big Romance\u2019s warm Toby Hatchett soundsystem with a chat about the record on the night. More info.
Big special extra thanks to Georgia Hallion for editing the podcast.
