Since Laurie Anderson last CD (United States III) on EMI Records back in 1984, I have felt a massive void in my life. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Laurie Anderson has. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Laurie Anderson on ‘Red Map’. This is what good Rock should be.
Hey Ah is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Bagpipe Solo catches attention immediately, From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Time And A Half is the marvelous blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Example #22 is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Once you hear Strike, you will listen to it over and over. False Documents is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. New York Social Life - A classic Laurie Anderson track. A Curious Phenomenon (1:06) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Yankee See is the albums biggest surprise. I like the agression and power of I Dreamed I Had To Take A Test…. Running Dogs is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Four, Three, Two, One is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. The Big Top is a strong cut, one of many. Voice and instruments in It Was Up In The Mountains complement each other. Odd Objects (For Light-In-Mouth) is Laurie Anderson’s best work in years. United States III couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Dr. Miller. In Big Science full palet of sound is used by Laurie Anderson to accentuate the presentation. Excellent vocals and musical performances.
