A stunning folk-pop album

With search classic songs as Scarborough Fair / Canticle (a major American hit), Homeward bound (the only UK hit from the album, this was a ten hit on Both Sides of the Atlantic), For Emily Wherever I May Find Her (sung solo by type) and the 59th Street Bridge Song - Feeling Groovy (a hit for Harper's Bizarre in the UK and USA), this is yet another masterpiece from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
The famous songs already Mentioned are available on countless hits compilations of Their music, so if you are thinking of buying this, it is Because You want to hear the other songs. They are all of a high quality, notably Cloudy (with its incredible imagery), Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine (about TV advertising) and Dangling Conversation (about cocktail party gossip).
Yet the most notable track of all may be 7 O'Clock News / Silent Night. With a peaceful Christmas carol as background, this track reflects on the state of the world back then as relayed in news bulletins. Of course, news bulletins Generally focus on problems and tragedies, as a piece like this could have been recorded at any time. Despite world progress, news bulletins are always full of despair, nevermore so than while I am writing this, SoonAfter the Indian Ocean Earthquake.
If you are interested in more than just Their hits, this Simon and Garfunkel album is definitely worth a listen.
