The Story
SAIL AWAY (1972) solidified Newman’s reputation for sophisticated musicality and satire on one of his most subversively beautiful albums. Produced by Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman, the collection juxtaposes grand orchestral arrangements like the title track with the stark intimacy of Newman alone at the piano on “Dayton, Ohio – 1903.” Whether skewering fame on “Lonely At The Top” or politics on “Political Science,” his sharp-witted perspective defined a new standard in American songwriting.
Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensional, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.
