SPARKS

Could be just because they were the first albums I was exposed to, but to me "Kimono - Indiscreet" will always be THE Sparks sound, although it goes without saying that I get enjoyment from ...

The way I see it is that any new Sparks album is always a nice surprise, but I wouldn't EXPECT anything from them at this stage in their career. I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't do anymore either. ...

I'd be interested to know actually how many people have voted because they love their chosen song more than any other, or just because they hadn't been played so far on 21X21, and just for completism' ...

Tryouts for the Human Race gets my vote, as I didn't make it to NOSIH! Ron Playing

Come on! Just one more for Tryouts guys!! Someone else must want to hear it out there?

Agree with the comments about Jimmy Somerville...he really shouldn't put himself in a position where he can be compared directly to Russell Mael, cos it really shows him up!

Am of course mainly referring to tracks such as the orchestral This Town, and Change etc...

How much of this was backing tapes, and how much were live instruments on stage?

Can't believe Get In The Swing is languishing with only one vote, after the tremendous performance at the Indiscreet gig!

Maybe it's true that listening to the recordings can't recreate the feel of the real thing...but to me, listening to this music just doesn't even sound like Sparks. It sounds like I'm listening in on ...

"Tryouts for the Human Race", thank you, please!

the music played before introducing was plain depressing. sort it out, please!

I've noticed all bands seem to have horrible music playing before they come on...I've always assumed it's so that the ...

Very, very, very impressed. Get In The Swing sounded just perfect. Was really expecting a scaled down version of all these songs, but how ignorant of me to think that Sparks would do anything scaled d ...

Wow! This would mean their first UK Top 40 album in 33 years??

Get Up and Use Me - Fire Engines

Why demean such a great concert with such a pitiful and embarrassing title? Surely it should be called Hello Young Lovers with similar artwork to sit neatly alongside the cd?
