'The idea is not to just make another album,' Simon explains. 'The idea is to make something that s really worth a listen.'
For anyone who s been listening to great music during the past half-century, Paul Simon is certainly no stranger. So one of the most remarkable things about his extraordinary new masterpiece, Stranger to Stranger Paul Simon s 13th solo record is that it conjures a vivid and vital new context to his well-established genius as a singer and songwriter. Full of thrilling textures that feel fresh and modern, while still offering subtle and artful allusions to our shared musical past, Stranger to Stranger presents the perfect opportunity to get to know Paul Simon in a new way.
A significant sonic breakthrough on Stranger to Stranger came when Simon wrote the song 'Insomniac s Lullaby,' and found himself reminded of the musical possibilities first suggested by Harry Partch the 20th Century American composer and theorist who created custom-made instruments in microtonal tunings. Besides recording sounds from various Partch instruments, one of the key realizations Simon gathered from Partch was the observation that singing in music is akin to human speech, and Simon started to shape vocal lines on the album that way.
Stranger to Stranger allows the listener to experience Simon s singular voice with the shock of the new. Here, his strong voice and conversational lyrics usher us into a brave new musical world where expectations are defied and exceeded, as they were thirty years ago with another masterpiece, Graceland.
On Stranger to Stranger, Simon worked with old friend and collaborator Roy Halee a name familiar from countless recordings now rightly considered classic. 'It s about getting you to actually hear something in a new way. It s about making music that sounds old and new at the same time; music with a sense of mystery,' says Simon.
Paul Simon s collage of sounds for Stranger to Stranger also includes the Italian electronic dance music artist Clap! Clap!, whose sound he ended up putting on three of the tracks ('The Werewolf,' 'Wristband' and 'Street Angel').
'Sound is the theme of this album as much as it s about the subjects of the individual songs. If people get that, I ll be pleased,' explains Simon.... 'The right song at the right time can live for generations. A beautiful sound, well that's forever.'

乐队介绍：
90年代，美国的失业危机重新抬头,朋克乐在音乐界再度爆炸，西雅图的Grunge音乐风暴引起了强烈的反响与轰动,Nirvana就是在这样的背景下诞生的，乐队由Kurt Cobain和前The Melvins的成员 Krist Novoselic组建，Dave Grohl在录制第二张唱片(Nevermind)固定了的鼓手位置，Kurt Cobain负责主音和吉它， Chris负责低音吉它。
1988年11月Nirvana推出了第一张Single：Love Buzz/Big Cheese,1989年6月发行第一张专集"Bleach"。Nirvana的第一张专辑，Dale crover负责Floyd the Barder, Paper Cuts, Downer的鼓，其余由Chad Channing负责。唱片的录制费用是6.17，付钱的是Jason Everman，他在唱片里面连名字都未给提起。唱片的录制时间是30小时。 Downer只收录在CD版本里面。唱片由Sup Pop Records发行，92年4月Geffen公司Remaster发行。
1991年四月，Nirvana正式和Geffen Records 唱片公司签约。同年九月，专集"Nevermind"发行，刚推出5周销量就已达到50万张，并且在排行榜上势如破竹，节节上升， 92年1月11日成为美国销量第一的唱片，全球的销量超过一千万大关。在商业上取得了巨大的成功。单曲“Smells Like Teen Spirit”在美国BILLBROAD公告排行榜上迅速攀升。(Nevermind)使Nirvana步向成功，同时也开始了一个神话和一场心灵的悲剧。
在「Nevermind」取得了巨大的成功之后，NIRVANA把以前Singles的Side-B的和一些还没发行过的歌收集在一起，于1992年12月15日，推出专集「Incesticide」。这是一张典型的地下音乐专辑，他们表示推出这张唱片的目的是为了试试听众和电台DJ接受地下摇滚的极限。
Nirvana凭这次转入大唱片公司之后的强力出击在Billboard排行榜上取得了爆炸性的效果。他们的冲击力是如此的强劲，又是如此的出人意料之外，甚至连《纽约时报》的商业版都以他们做封面，当华尔街的分析家和工业巨头们都在时间关注那些身穿花格衬衫的破落音乐家们的时候，你不得不承认Nirvana的确将伟大的音乐带给了更多的听众。
表面上，轰鸣扭曲的吉他声与愤怒的吉他声与愤怒而具侵略性的击鼓已成为成长中的Grunge一族的必修课，实际上，《Nevermind》是一张伟大的流行乐专辑，像“Smell Like Teen Spirits”就抓住了MTV时代人们的距离感和不满情绪，但却不失精彩的噱头和出色的旋律——并且编曲上的精致巧妙绝不输于任何一张Beatles的专辑。同时Kurt Cobain的演唱与歌曲创作洋溢着天才与灵感，就长那些与他齐名的人也很少有如此泉涌才思，有不少人认为Nirvana不过是“一招鲜，吃遍天”，但只此一招便已为他们在另类摇滚史上赢得无可置疑的一席之地。
其中，主打歌曲更被认为是颓废摇滚的坐标。Nirvana深深的影响一代西方青年，他们的衣着，发型和言行都受到人们的疯狂追逐。主唱Kurt Cobain的自杀更为乐队添上神秘的色彩。闲话少说，去买来听听吧。
专辑介绍:
“Smells Like Teen Spirit”集美妙旋律和狂暴情绪为一体，这首歌中最为人注目的特点是不把一切归咎于上一代人，它直言不讳地指出了自身的缺陷。这同样也是列侬的特质，既自由而潇洒地谈论和描述自己的困惑和梦想，毫无畏惧、毫无拘束。如果 Cobain 不曾写下这首歌，他的传奇和他艺术的成就就会打点折扣，因为正是这首歌，成为了所有对现代社会的异化感同身受的青年的共同呐喊，成了全世界那些精神上似乎是无法得到满足的人们得到无限满足的欢叫，成了一切在残酷现实面前梦想破灭者的呻吟，成了依然保持最后理想者疲于奔命时的狂野呼告。“Polly ”是以一个1987年发生的真实故事为基础写成的，Cobain 十分痛恨对女性的不公和不恭，他总是为他这一代人里也有歧视和蹂躏女性的人感到惭愧。“Something In Way”是 Cobain 在 Aberdeen 桥下凄凉经历的记录，他奇特的视角既让人忍俊不禁，又让人毛骨悚然，而这就是 Kurt·Cobain 。专辑的封面照片也为专辑增色不少，也成为媒体和听众注目的焦点，关于这幅封面照片的含义，也是众说纷纭。

Bob Dyla的影响力主要体现在60年代，如果没有迪伦，无疑摇滚乐将走一段弯路，将不会有“披头士”（BGEATLES，THE）的《佩珀军士》（Sgt.Pepper），不会有“滚石”的《乞丐的宴会》（Beggar’s Banquet），也不会有“乐队”的《来自大平克的音乐》（Music form Big Pink），这就是他的影响程度。他对音乐的最主要的贡献，这点也影响了列农和麦卡特尼之后的很多歌手，那就是歌词的深刻寓意与音乐成为同等重要的一部分，从他一开始的抗议歌曲，就展示了他的歌词比他的音乐更浪漫、更激动人心。他对工业国家整个一代人的敏感性的形成起了很大的作用，他的音乐对理解和分析60年代是至关重要的。
