DESCRIPTION:
Chessley Sexton said Fandom for Laurie. For true Laurie Fans. Follow the minutia of a few weeks with Laurie Anderson, the audio diary is augmented with segues of Laurie's soundscape. For me the best part was a recording of Laurie on stage performing a section of her piece about the last flight of Amelia Earhart. Two cd's and a book with photos of some of the things she talks about and people she talks too, like her husband, Lou Reed.. Fernando Bakos said MASTERPIECE. This is not a fan only curiosity, it is by far one of the most amazing soudpieces in the tradition of art music, and as a radio show it's absolutly unique. As always, when Laurie is confronted with a challenge, she come out with reinvention, cultural references, simplicity, sincerity and creativity. At the same time, it's a delightful pleasure to listen to, as a sound diary on her very own intimacy (featuring Lou, her mother, her brother's parrot and friends), linked with wonderful bits of violin textures and rythmic parts, and as a poetic narration of human existence on the XXI century. The "MASTERPIECE" according to Fernando Bakos.
