Halfnelson
Halfnelson released their self-titled debut albumin September 1971 on Bearsville. It contains four songs by Ron (“Wonder Girl,” “Fa La Fa Lee,” “High C,” “Fletcher Honorama”), two by Russell (“Roger,” “Saccharin and the War”), and three Ron–Russell co-writes (“Simple Ballet,” “Slowboat,” “Big Bands”). Earle Mankey contributed the otherworldly “Biology 2” and Jim Mankey collaborated with Ron on the closing track, “(No More) Mr. Nice Guys.” “Wonder Girl” (2:21) Russell has a “grand old time” wi...
A Woofer in Tweeter’s Clothing
Sparks released their second album, A Woofer in Tweeter’s Clothing, in November 1972 on Bearsville. It features three Mael brothers co-writes: “Here Comes Bob,” “Angus Desire,” and the opener “Girls from Germany,” which later appeared as a UK single with “Beaver O’Lindy,” the only song credited to all five members. A Woofer also features four Ron numbers: “Nothing Is Sacred,” “The Louvre,” “Batteries Not Included,” and “Whippings and Apologies.” His “Moon Over Kentucky” featured lyrics by Jim...
On January 29–30, 1973, Sparks played the Whisky-a-Go-Go with support from hard-rockers Stepson, a spinoff of NW prog–psych pioneers Touch. In London, Island Records took an interest in Sparks, especially the songwriting and vocal talents of the Mael brothers. Weary of hosting a five-piece band, Island summoned the pair back to England, where the M...
Kimono My House
Sparks released their third album, Kimono My House, in May 1974 on Island. It features two Mael brothers co-writes (“Hasta Mañana Monsieur,” “In My Family”) and eight Ron Mael originals, including the opening two numbers “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us” and “Amateur Hour” (both released as singles) and the side-closing epics “Thank God It’s Not Christmas” and “Equator.” “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us” (3:05) Russell struggles internally with animal urges (“zoo time is s...
Propaganda
Sparks released their second album of 1974, Propaganda, in November on Island. It features three Mael brothers co-writes (“Reinforcements,” “Thanks But No Thanks,” “Bon Voyage”) and eight proper Ron originals, including the melodramatic “Don’t Leave Me Alone With Her” and the opening pair on side two: “Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth” and “Something For The Girl With Everything,” both issued as singles. The titular opener is a brief demonstration of Russell’s falsetto prowess. “Propagand...
Sparks launched a month-long North American tour on April 6, 1975, in Toronto. They supported Kraftwerk in Buffalo (4/11/75: New Century Theatre) and played back-to-back Ohio shows in Akron and Cleveland, then-epicenters of new, eccentric talent (Devo, Pere Ubu, Tin Huey). In July, Sparks issued a new single: “Get In the Swing,” a Dixieland marchin...
“England”
At the start of 1976, the Maels settled back in the US and reconnected with Earl Mankey. As a trio, Sparks recorded “England,” a musical tradeoff of cling clang percussion and fizzling sounds. Its lyrics contrast English and American culture with wry observations drawn from the brother’s two years overseas: How was England weather? Much like ours but with a moister sort of air Their communication? Much like ours but with a drier sort of air “England” first appeared in March 1976 as the b-side...
Big Beat
Sparks released their sixth album, Big Beat, in October 1976 on Columbia (US) and Island (abroad). It features eleven Ron originals with a decidedly American slant. “Big Boy” opens the album with brimming open cadences (sizzling chordal sustain, remote echoing vocals) over a tight, pent-up rhythmic pattern. Side One emphasizes mid-tempo numbers with hard-rock riffs and pop singalong choruses (“I Want to Be Like Everybody Else,” “Nothing To Do,” “Everybody’s Stupid”). They vary the approach wi...
Introducing Sparks
Sparks returned in October 1977 with their second Columbia release, the ironically titled Introducing Sparks, their seventh album overall. For the first time, the Mael brothers receive joint songwriting credit on all numbers: “A Big Surprise,” “Occupation,” “Ladies,” “I’m Not,” “Forever Young,” “Goofing Off,” “Girls on the Brain,” “Over the Summer,” and “Those Mysteries.” “Occupation” (5:17) Russell recalls the simpler life of the pre-industrial frontiersman (“cowboys are a hardy breed… we sm...
No. 1 in Heaven
Sparks returned in March 1979 with their eighth album, No. 1 in Heaven. It was produced by Giorgio Moroder and released on Elektra (North America), Virgin (UK), and Ariola (Europe). The album contains six songs: one Ron sole-write (“Academy Award Performance”), one Ron–Russell co-write (“Beat the Clock”), and four jointly credited to the Maels and Moroder (“Tryouts for the Human Race,” “La Dolce Vita,” “My Other Voice,” “The Number One Song In Heaven”). In a break from prior Sparks efforts, t...
Production: Nöel – Is There More to Life Than Dancing?
In 1979, Sparks teamed with Patricia A. Noel, a Los Angeles model and aspiring singer who performed as Nöel. The Maels wrote and produced her singular album, Is There More to Life Than Dancing?It features three lengthy disco tracks (“Dancing Is Dangerous,” “The Night They Invented Love,” the title-track) and two shorter cuts (“Au Revoir,” “I Want a Man”). Musically, the Nöel album follows the electro-dance blueprint of No. 1 in Heaven with female mezzo-soprano vocals in lieu of Russell’s fals...
Terminal Jive
Sparks opened 1980 with Terminal Jive, released on January 28 on Virgin. The album was co-produced by Moroder and Harold Faltermeyer, a longtime arranger and frequent Giorgio collaborator. The Maels wrote the first five songs and co-wrote two with Moroder: “Stereo” and “The Greatest Show on Earth,” a four-way co-write with Faltermeyer, who co-wrote “Noisy Boys” with Ron, Russell, and Munich Machine drummer Keith Forsey. Terminal Jive is bookended with space-disco numbers in the No. 1 in Heave...
Whomp That Sucker
Sparks released their tenth album, Whomp That Sucker, in July 1981 on RCA (USA), Ariola (Germany), and Why-Fi (UK). Sessions took place at Musicland with producer–engineer Reinhold Mack for Giorgio Moroder Enterprise. Musically, Sparks re-embrace guitar-based pop rock but retain the recent integration of synthesizers. For this and their next four albums, the Maels employed LA new wavers Bates Motel as their backing band. Whomp That Sucker features ten Mael brothers originals, including “Tips...
