Uma proposta indecente de César Rodrigues.
Um álbum em duas partes: Bright Red + Tightrope, produzido por Brian Eno.
"In Our Sleep" é um dueto com Lou Reed, parceiro de 21 anos de Laurie Anderson.
Para além de Eno e Reed, o álbum conta com a colaboração da mais "fina nata dos músicos da downtown nova-iorquina": Joey Baron (baterista frequente de John Zorn), Arto Lindsay, Greg Cohen, Marc Ribot, entre outros.
AllMusic: Five years after the release of 1989's pop-oriented Strange Angels, Laurie Anderson returned with Bright Red, a Brian Eno-produced excursion into much darker territory. ★★★
Rolling Stone: Anderson's voice emerges from digital blackness, often accompanied only by sinuous percussion. Her narratives – in first or second person, rarely embracing "we" – take on tragic force. She indulges in an occasional warble, but most of Bright Red is too grim to sing about. ★★★★
The Vinyl Life of Alan Bumstead: Indelible, Bright Red is a mature, crafted, high-polish, art-avante concept album. (...) Creepy. Dark. Haunting. Packed full of meaning. It’s beautiful and smooth – a pure ambient sound, with some severe percussive backtracking on certain songs, while others present an eerie twinkling state-of-the-art clean studio-synth sound. The album is produced by Brian Eno. Lyrically, it’s even more fascinating still, (...) a kind of hypnotic poetry set to music. In terms of ‘concept album’, what we get here is a self-referential world, like a spherical concept where songs link up thematically across the whole piece. Certain words and phrases are repeated and brought up to create a network of links between tracks.
Uncut – Laurie Anderson in conversation with Brian Eno: Anderson and Eno’s collaborative relationship began in the Nineties with Anderson’s Bright Red album. Eno recalls how working on that album altered his production method. Traditionally, mixing an album began with the rhythm section, laying down a landscape on top of which the vocals were placed; fascinated by Anderson’s voice, Eno decided to upend the process and begin with her voice and then build instruments around her; a technique he has continued to this day. Listening back to the songs from that era, meanwhile, Anderson explains she finds them “floaty and open in a way I had forgotten”.
