Sparks: Past Tense - Best Of Sparks
Title: Past Tense - Best Of Sparks
Artist: Sparks
Label: BMG Rights Managemen
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 4050538507201
Genre: Rock
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 2017's pop masterpiece Hippopotamus.
