Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. It is best known for the single O Superman, which unexpectedly reached No. 2 in the UK. The work is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 5-LP box set and book in 1984. United States Live was originally a performance piece, in which music was only one element. After Big Science music. Big Science - Laurie Anderson.

A fair listen to Big Science leaves the impression that jealousy must have been at the root of the reception because Big Science is in no way a commercial sellout. A thoughtful and often hilariously funny collection of songs from Anderson's work in progress, United States I-IV, Big Science works both as a preview of the larger work and on its own merits.

Walking & Falling 2:10. It is best known for the 8-minute epic O Superman, which reached 2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson's work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 5-LP box set and book in 1984. Big Science comprises songs from Anderson's also quite prescient United States project, a multimedia performance art piece cum opera It seemed like everyone I knew was working on an opera, she recalls that depicted America on the brink of digital revolution and capitalist nirvana, where the dollar trumped tradition and the apocalypse- cultural, political, technological- loomed. In fact, one of the elements that makes Big Science so special is Anderson's sense of humor. In Let X X, Anderson offers, with a wink, I can see the future, and it's a place- about 70 miles east of here.
