“

Unfortunately, Sparks never enjoyed more than a small, though devoted, cult following. But it certainly wasn't for a lack of effective hooks and clever, insanely funny lyrics. While a few of the L.A. pop/rockers' albums were disappointing, many others were exceptional. For those seeking an introductory overview of Sparks' legacy, this two-CD set is highly recommended. From "Achoo" to "Tips for Teens" to "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us," Profile makes it clear just how delightfully goofy Sparks could be. Often willing to experiment, the group embraces everything from hard rock on "Big Boy" to Euro-disco on Giorgio Moroder-produced songs like "The Number One Song in Heaven" and "Beat the Clock." Despite the inclusion of a few throwaways -- such as the disappointing Music You Can Dance To's title song -- Profile paints an impressive picture of a wrongly neglected band.

Thanks a lot from a Sparks fan!
The compilation is almost perfect: one of my favourite songs, "Equator", is missing from the lot :(
(it's track 10 of "Kimono My House", write it in the search box and you'll find it,
courtesy of our friend tednewman - he's the greatest!)
