Try to watch this great BBC documentary about Simon & Garfunkel's classic 1970 album Bridge Over Troubled Water.
There's lots of discussion with the engineer Roy Halee about the unusual recording techniques they employed to get novel sounds, including recording backing vocals in a church, drums by an elevator shaft and even having the duo sing inside an echo chamber.
If you'd like to find out more about his career and approach to recording, there's an interview with Roy Halee from EQ Magazine and a feature on the making of Paul Simon's "You can call me Al" from the album Graceland from Sound on Sound magazine.
