Laurie Anderson's 1994 album, BRIGHT RED is the outgrowth of STORIES FROM THE NEW BIBLE, a series of tales developed by Laurie Anderson and subsequently published in book form. These STORIES were also performed at live concerts ("readings") in the early '90s. THE UGLY ONE WITH THE JEWELS was recorded at a London reading in 1993.
Accompanied by minimal instrumentation-often Anderson alone on keyboards and violin-she spins her tales. Her stories cover a wide range of topics, but somehow seem to be part of a single, ever-evolving whole. She tells of a bizarre artists' retreat on a small Pacific island ("Word of Mouth"), an ill-fated hitchhiking trip north ("The Geographic North Pole"), and the by-turns amusing and creepy tale of "The Hollywood Strangler," a slightly reworked version of an interlude on her masterpiece, UNITED STATES. Trivia fans should note that preeminent ambient sound painter Brian Eno appears here, guesting on keyboards on "Maria Teresa Teresa Maria."
Out-of-print in the US.! 1995 live album by the avant-garde performer, a recording of musical readings from her book Stories From The Nerve Bible. Recorded at Sadler's Wells Theater in London and featuring musical assistance from Brian Eno, Gerry Leonard, Greg Cohen and Cyro Baptista. Although many of the song/stories performed cover a wide range of topics and ideas, they still hold together as parts of an ever-revolving whole. This release is closer in spirit to her sprawling epic United States Live and is certainly her best album since her breakthrough Big Science from 1981. 18 tracks. Warner.

Jazziz (10/95, p.105) - "...full of typically dry, robotic humor, THE UGLY ONE traverses subjects serious and silly....techno-storytelling for the wandering masses in an interactive age."

Adventure has to count for something. When the Rascals dropped the word "Young" from the front of their name, it offered listeners and fans the signal was that everything would be different from then on. While the band could -- and would still -- write infectious, sophisticated blue-eyed soul numbers, they'd heard Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds, and Sgt. Pepper's. They were also keenly aware of the time they lived in. Once Upon a Dream, issued in February of 1968, was their first reach into previously uncharted territory, being constructed as an album instead of as a collection of singles. In the 21st century, it stands as one of rock's great overlooked classics with its ambitious production, multi-part expanded songwriting exercises, and some of the most ambitious vocalizing the band had yet attempted. But if that outing had been ambitious and even visionary, Freedom Suite, released in 1969 as the group's fifth album, was off the map. The band dug in and wrote a single LP's worth of solid tunes including a quartet of fine singles. First, there is "People Got to Be Free," which spent five weeks at Number One on the pop (and hit number 14 on the R&B chart as well). Then there's easy summer soul and gospel groove on "A Ray of Hope," which may have only gotten to number 39, but it's among the most enduring cuts in the Rascals legacy. The track "Heaven," which closed the first disc of Freedom Suite, was also wrapped tightly in urban ...
