About this album
Big Science is Laurie Anderson’s landmark debut, fusing art rock, electronics and spoken word into one of the most distinctive albums of the 1980s. Released in 1982, it built on the underground success of “O Superman” and turned Anderson’s performance-art sensibility into a sharply focused studio statement. Produced with crisp, minimal detail, the album mixes dry humour, political unease and a detached vocal style that made songs like “From the Air” and “Walking & Falling” instantly recognisable. Its blend of experimental ideas and pop clarity helped bring avant-garde music to a wider audience and secured Anderson’s reputation as a singular American artist.
