Laurie Anderson "Homeland"


No in depth review here but it is simply outstanding, ranking with the best recordings she has done.

More of a return to the narrative style's from United States era but with the savvy and wisdom gained from years as an artist and observer of the global/human condition.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm a big fan since the 80's. I will definitely pick up a copy.
Antony has been one of my favorites for many years, and is probably one of my most played artists as far as vocals. Now I have to go out today and pick up this CD!
Many thanks, Richard. I'll check those out (I have Dark was the Night, and do remember the cut from "I'm not there" - his voice is unmistakable). Of course there is his contribution to "I'm Your Man", and one of my favorite cuts from him is the title cut from his EP, The Lake, in which he puts that Edgar Allen Poe poem to music...stunning! The first cut on "I am Bird Now", Hope There's Someone, is also quite stunning and a real test for a system IMO when the music becomes very dense and layered. His latest, The Crying Light, is excellent.

Yes, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I was aware of the EP but have not been able to find a copy, or they've been very expensive.
