Warner Bros. soon signed Anderson to record a full-length LP, and in 1982 she issued Magnanimous Science, a bring careworn from a much larger propose, the seven-hour multimedia execution Joined States.


With 1984's Mr. Heartbreak, Anderson produced her most overtly pop-oriented work, teaming with artists including Peter Gabriel and Adrian Belew; the goal result even reached the American Top hundred.
