└────────┘
Sparks grew out of the minds of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, bringing
their theatrical, over-the-top approach to pop alive from their formation
in the early '70s for decades to follow. Largely a cult band, they had
brushes with mainstream success as well, charting early on with a more glam
rock sound on singles like 1974's "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both
of Us." They also charted when they took a turn toward synth pop, with
Giorgio Moroder-produced disco-fied tracks like "Beat the Clock" and "The
Number One Song in Heaven" in the late '70s and more house-informed dance
singles in the '90s. Apart from their longevity, Sparks' defining quality
is the scale of their influence.
Past Tense is a brand new career-spanning collection by the provocateurs of
pop - Sparks. Masters of reinvention, with an unappeasable ambition and a
ravenous hunger for the now, Sparks - brothers Ron and Russell Mael - have
been creating eye-poppingly brilliant pop music for more than 50 years.
Past Tense: The Best Of Sparks is an immaculate lesson in how to stay
consistently interesting for fifty years.
With sleeve-notes by Simon Price, each track is hand-picked by Ron and
Russell to best epitomise the era of Sparks from which they are drawn -
forerunners of art rock, inventors of the synth duo, masters of new wave
pop, Europop experimentalists and self-revisionists, in the 21st century
they pioneered the electronic opera before delivering 2017Æs pop
masterpiece Hippopotamus.
