Brothers Ron and Russell Mael have carved out a unique niche in the annals of pop music. Their ambitious brand of deviant candy has always straddled the line between sophistication and sleaze, reveling in its own cleverness while simultaneously infecting the listener with nihilistic bliss. Repertoire's The Best of Sparks, like the title suggests, is a career retrospective of the duo's work, albeit through 1984 – this little tidbit should have been revealed somewhere on the outside packaging – and collects 21 songs from their first 15 records.

Sparks - In Outer Space (1983) [Reissue 2013] Music

Posted by gribovar at Dec. 17, 2022

Sparks' 12th album got off to the best possible start when the first single, "Cool Places," a breakneckedly breezy duet with the Go-Go's' Jane Wiedlin, spun off to become the Mael brothers' first ever Top 50 hit in their American homeland. It would also be their last, but an entire generation of new fans arose regardless to pursue the siblings through both their future convolutions and their past ones too. In Outer Space's almost ruthless distillation of all that had gone before was, then, an ideal place for them to start.

Sparks - Kimono My House (1974, 1990's ReIssue with Bonus Tracks) [Repost] Music

Posted by luckburz at Sept. 27, 2013

Arguably one of Sparks' best albums, 1974's Kimono My House finds the brothers Mael (Ron wrote most the songs and played keyboards, while Russell was the singing frontman) ingeniously playing their guitar- and keyboard-heavy pop mix on 12 consistently fine tracks. (…) the album features one of their often-overlooked stunners, "Here in Heaven." Essential.

Sparks - Exotic Creatures Of The Deep (2008) [Japanese Edition] Bonus Track Music

Posted by matcque at Dec. 8, 2011

Exotic Creatures of the Deep is the twenty-first album by Sparks. Ron Mael injects rock instrumentation into still predominantly classical orchestrations, but the tunes themselves are more wide-ranging than on the last album. Melodic highlights come fast and furious. The formula is simple – to merge pure rock melody with classical stringed grandeur. It can be argued that Sparks’ sound is now as conceptual as it can possibly get. Multi-layered sounds pour out of the speakers, almost drowning you in lushness.
