Simon & Garfunkel - "The Sounds of Silence" 45 Hot Mono Mix

"You are hearing a combination of two things:
1.) The source is vinyl, which was from an analog master tape - not an MP3, or anything digital.

2.) The mix is very different on the original 45 RPM vinyl record, that for reasons unknown, is not available today on any format - CD, MP3, whatever. Only by going back to the original 45 do you hear this MUCH better version of this great song!"

KeN - "Happy Suicide"

The band's name is KeN and it features Kristin Thomson (formerly of Tsunami, Simple Machines co-founder). Their official site: ilikeken.com
