Back in oh-oh-oh-oh 1981 many people were oh-oh-oh-oh so annoyed by Laurie Anderson's oh-oh-oh-oh-O SUPERMAN which people like me oh-oh-oh-oh so nearly bought to number one. They were oh-oh-oh-oh lucky they didn't hear "Sweaters", the third track on this album, on which Laurie plays the bagpipes! ... Read review

Disadvantages: oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-god-not-that

...A wry look at progress, BIG SCIENCE, starts with a roar (is that a bear?) and lyrically paints a picture of a new town being developed. This is the most melodic song on the album, but even so has plenty of percussion (electronic tom-toms, tympani and sticks!) In fact the whole album is dominated by rhythms rather than melodies.
