SPARKS Sparks (2008 issue UK 11-track CD album - Sparks established themselves so perfectly with their 1972 Bearsville debut that arguably the rest of the brothers' long career has been a continual refinement from that basic formula. Even more striking is realising how astoundingly ahead of it's time it was; what must have sounded indescribably strange in 1972 now feels like the precursor to nearly all of new wave, & synth-pop. 'Sparks' remains a wonderfullyentertaining listen & an honestly unique debut.)
