└────────┘
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.
25 years since its original release, Sparks' 16th studio album Gratuitous
Sax & Senseless Violins' is reissued with remastered and bonus material.
The original, remastered album is accompanied by a further two CDs of
eclectic bonus tracks and rarities and, in a rare move, Sparks have opened
the vaults to share previously unreleased demos and recordings.
After a few years working on the as-yet-unrealised Mai The Psychic Girl
film project - with both Tsui Hark (whose vocals appear on this record) and
Tim Burton, collaborating with Scottish band Finitribe on 1993Æs National
Crime Awareness Week, and producing demos for Star Trek regular and future
Sparks drummer Christi Haydon, Ron and Russell Mael returned to the pop
forum and the charts in 1994 with Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins.
The first song written for the albumæWhen Do I Get To Sing My Way
(originally titled Punch And Judy Show) would go on to become the number
one radio song of 1994 in Germany and a top 40 hit in the UK. A
mouth-watering collection for fans and completists, the two bonus discs of
this 25th anniversary collection comprise B sides, remixes, live recordings
and the unreleased tracks from the Christi Haydon EP and, uniquely for
Sparks, a selection of demo tracks or orphan songs. The release comes
complete with fresh artwork and booklet with liner notes by Ron and Russell
Mael.
