Reviews
As for this classic album, Reed's three-dimensional excavation and explication of the musical and conceptual components of every song, made the end result even more impressive. * Jeremy Shatan, anearful blog *
[Reed] also doesn't shy away from musicological dissection when it seems useful, but always provides a way in for the uninitiated, using musical examples that almost everyone will know. * Jeremy Shatan, Anearful *
Reed's fascinating multi-perspectival account of Big Science is a carefully argued and much needed exposition of this enigmatic work. Historical, contextual, and textual insights deftly examine the intersecting personal, cultural and philosophical themes Anderson explores, both in Big Science and in her work leading to and from it. * Sean Albiez, Ph.D., Co-editor of Brian Eno: Oblique Music and Kraftwerk: Music Non Stop *
