Laurie Anderson

A unique concert film.

It's hard to imagine anyone else writing, directing and visualizing a film quite like this. Essentially a record of Laurie Anderson's "Mister Heartbreak" tour, this concert film is mostly comprised of songs and music with a smattering of spoken word pieces thrown in for good measure. Her more recent concerts have been a bit more subdued, so this is a good chance to see her with all the bells and whistles (so to speak).

As for the performances, Anderson is radiant and off-the-wall as usual, and her back-up band is top-notch, including such talented players as Adrian Belew, David Van Tieghem and Joy Askew (with whom Anderson shares an amusing phone call in the middle of the show). And William S. Burroughs even waltzes through from time to time.

Recommended for Laurie Anderson fans, and -- along with her "Collected Videos" -- could make her some new ones.

Laurie Anderson is a virus.

Once you catch the Laurie Anderson bug, you're hooked.

There are only four actual music videos in the traditional sense on this collection, but Laurie Anderson has never let anything like tradition get in the way of creating interesting art. The videos -- for "Beautiful Red Dress," "Language is a Virus," "Sharkey's Day" and "O Superman" -- show her range as a songwriter, performer and director, and the rest of the tape shows off her quirky sense of humour. We get to see bizarre snippets from her various television appearances, some thought-provoking Public Service Announcements and some other things which are quite indescribable, as well as a revealing tour of her home/studio.

This is one video collection that is definitely worth tracking down.
