Product Description
SUNDAY TIMES June 24, 2007
The early 1980s were a strange time for pop.It seemed as though
punk really had swept away all before it, and suddenly anything could be a
hit. Novelty songs, songs with silly titles such as Is Vic There?, Where's
Captain Kirk? and O Superman. Except O Superman wasn't a novelty song. It
was, in fact, one of the most unlikely crossover hits of all time, a taster
of an album by the performance artist Laurie Anderson. The secret of her
broadening appeal was that, while her work is challenging, it's never
"difficult". Her voice is soothing, her music is haunting, and the themes
of Big Science - fear, alienation, disconnection - are sadly still
relevant.
