BACKING FROM ADRIAN BELEW AND PETER GABRIEL
Released in 1984, this is Laurie Anderson's third album, (it you count her rough independent initial release). It is 40 minutes long and the sound quality is very good. It is much better than the typical CD released in the mid eighties (for instance, it is much better than the original CD version of Peter Gabriel's So). It is crystal clear and has a great dynamic range.
Laurie Anderson is a perfomance artist. Many of her CD's have been simply recording the audio section of her shows. Without the other media, the CD's have been one dimensional and not very satisfying. Even some of her studio albums come off as an audio track with something missing.
On this album, Anderson goes into the studio with the pure aim of recording an album. That way, just the music appears on the album, and all the other things that need video are not present.
This is a great album of the new wave/eigthties sound. It caputres Anderson's playing and singing at her best. The song selection is also strong. She also gets great support from Adrian Belew on guitar and Peter Gabriel on many instruments.
Included on this CD is the duet with Peter Gabriel, "Excellent Birds". A different version on this duet appears on Peter Gabriel's So. It is hard to say which version is better.
Also included on this CD are a number of songs Anderson has done during her performance art concerts. Some also appear on the four CD set, Live USA. But the versions on this CD are much better because they were rerecorded specifically for an audio album.
This album shows what a mistake it is for Anderson to put out CD's from her shows. She record her shows on DVD, while going into the studio and specifically record audio CD's.
