These guys are just so weird. First time I saw them was doing something from Kimono My House. Still my favorite
Sparks album. This one not quite as good, but it's up there. Followed them for a long time and they are still
kicking, though now they are more into the techno/dance scene. Another group that was one of my favorites, yet never
caught on. This is the groups fifth album and it could only manage a #169 chart showing here. The UK seemed to liked
them more with a #18 there. Get In The Swing and Looks, Looks, Looks were singles but neither fared that well. Love
three tracks and like everything else. The Mael brothers almost always deliver for me. Watching the deadpan look of
Russell was almost as enjoyable as the music.
