LAURIE ANDERSON LPs and Book

 

UNITED STATES LIVE 5-LP Set (Warner, 1984) 9 25192-1

The sleeve holding the 5 LPS shows wear, but the vinyl is either like-new or shows very little wear

 

Excerpted from PPCORN.COM review:

It was ground breaking when it was released in 1984. The concert itself was recorded between February 7 and 10 in 1983. The recording is of Laurie Anderson’s performance art piece United States that took place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This sprawling four part composition spans five albums and clocks in at 261 minutes and 57 seconds. That’s well over four hours of thought provoking music and words. The original show was reputed to have been around eight (8) hours in length.

 

But unlike some experimental works, or progressive rock, this is not a rambling mishmash of pompous flourishes or ego-driven virtuosity. In United States, Anderson plays the storyteller in this piece. Unsurprisingly, the album and the performance piece is about life in the United States, the themes of alienation.

 

There are whimsical observations, there is humour, there is sentimentality, there is horror, and there is provocation on this album. All of this is presented with a melange of music that ranges from minimalistic to pop, to avant-garde to quite unlistenable noise. Anderson makes all this work in a calm smooth narrative style way of presenting each individual work as but a segment of the whole.
