Sparks!
Brothers Ron (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals) formed Sparks in Los Angeles in 1970. Since that time they've put out 20 studio albums, hopping from genre to genre as they went..glam pop, power pop, electronic dance music and mainstream pop. Though they never made it big here in the states, they were huge in Europe, and have been cited as a major influence by peers such as Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and They Might Be Giants.
In 1978, after 7 albums of avante-pop, they released this album of electronic dance music, teaming with production team Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey, who had just crafted Donna Summers Disco anthem I Feel Love.
In May and June of this year, they played all of their albums in their entirety during a 21 night stand in London.
