Nonesuch recently released a remastered version of Laurie's seminal '82 debut Big Science and the intraoffice email chain about it is fairly shameful, so we'll just come out and admit ... when it comes to Science, we're sadly clueless. Everyone's got that "important" record they never really got around to; here's ours. What we do know: it's minimalist, it features a lot of Laurie's trademark spoken wordisms, and this is the track Nonesuch wants you to have to reinvigorate your LP appreciation...
Laurie Anderson - "Let X=X" (MP3)
The John Peel-beloved "O Superman" is the record's money track (a UK #2 hit) and doesn't require an appreciation of eccentricity to enjoy, but we're out of our element with this one. You guys big fans? Or, join the self-flaggelation party and fess up to the classic you've never spun. (Don't worry it's a blog, your anonymity is preserved ... unless that's your real name, Meh!.)
