Sparks is one of those bands that either you love them or you don’t. They can be seen as weird musically and visually but in a humorous sarcastic way. Essentially, Sparks is the music expression of brothers Ronald and Russell Mael, two California kids who began their musical journey in the late sixties. Formed a band initially named Halfneslon which recorded and released two albums plus a third now as Sparks, that achieved absolutely no commercial impact to speak of. The brothers moved to England in 1973, reassembled the band with British musicians and produced three amazing albums that put them on the map. By 1976, the Mael brothers returned to the US, staying this time on the east coast, reformed the band and began a new chapter for themselves that was slightly more dance oriented as so became the times. This compilation was originally conceived and created Aug 2013. I’ve upgraded all files @320 and expanded slightly the original playlist in Feb 2019.
