Umpteen years after first hearing this, it is still one of my very favourite albums and, to repeat a quote quoted in the track Blue Lagoon, "something rich and strange". I've never grown tired of it and probably never will.
The sound palate is unique, like nothing I've ever heard before or since, and always keeps me enthralled (while the lyrics have me amused, bemused and moved almost to tears by turns) from the very beginning to the very end.
This, along with the also wonderful if slightly less quirky Strange Angels, is Laurie Anderson at her most accessible. In a better world it would always be in those lists of Top 50 albums of all time and remains in my Top 10.
