"Cecilia" by Simon & Garfunkel

An astounding stereographic image that puts you right in the middle of a drum circle. This one feels like home. I grew up with Simon & Garfunkel playing in the house, and in the maroon Oldsmobile station wagon my mom drove. Wood panel siding, purple velour interior, and road trips scored by voices that somehow felt both friendly and enormous. Nostalgia is baked into this sound for me. But it’s not just memory. These recordings were masterfully made.
