Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. Records. It is best known for the 8-minute epic "O Superman", which reached #2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson's work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 4-LP box set and book in 1984.

- Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. Records. It is best known for the 8-minute epic "O Superman", which reached #2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson's work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 4-LP box set and book in 1984. United States Live was originally a performance piece, in which music was only one element. After Big Science music played a larger role in Anderson's work. Although considered her debut album, Anderson had previously recorded one side of a 2-LP set titled You're the Guy I Want To Share My Money With, a collaboration released on Giorno Poetry Systems with William S. Burroughs and John Giorno. She had also contributed two pieces to a 1977 compilation of electronic music. A newly remastered version of the album was released on 18 June 2007 by Nonesuch/Elektra Records with new liner notes, a bonus track, "Walk the Dog" (which was the B-Side of the original "O Superman" single), as well as the "O Superman" video. The album has been sampled in a number of hip hop songs: "From the Air" was sampled by Mr. Lif in the song "Home of the Brave" on his Emergency Rations EP. The song deals with political repercussions of September 11, 2001, playing off the original song's description of a plane crash descending into New York City. "Raspberry Fields" by Cannibal Ox contains a sample from "Sweaters. " "This about the City" by cLOUDDEAD contains a sample from the song "Big Science. " Brief snippets of "O Superman" were used by Cut Chemist in the introduction to his song "Spat."
- Big Science è il primo album inciso da Laurie Anderson. È stato pubblicato nel 1982. Si tratta di una rielaborazione di alcuni brani estratti dalla tournée dello spettacolo United States Live, performance della durata di circa 6 ore. Nell'album fanno la loro comparsa gli strumenti e gli effetti sonori messi a punto dalla stessa Anderson, tra cui il tape bow violin, ossia un violino su cui è montata una testina di magnetofono, suonato con un archetto che come corda ha un pezzo di nastro magnetico inciso. Il disco contiene il famoso singolo O Superman (for Massenet), brano che raggiunse il secondo posto nelle classifiche di vendita britanniche e che è stato utilizzato verso la fine degli anni '80 dal Ministero della Sanità italiano come colonna sonora di una serie di spot pubblicitari per la prevenzione dell'AIDS.
