My goodness, 88 thumbs up for that fantastically accurate appraisal!! To be fair, Steve Wright does like Sparks very much and promoted them a lot during their Gratuitous Sax period. That said in the spirit of redress, but he's still a tw*t.
THE MAN MAKES SPARKS...IT HAS A CERTAIN BIT HUMOUR,,WHICH WOULD MAKE IT LESS APPRECIATED..IF HE STOOD LIKE A NORMAL KEYBOARD PLAYER JUMPING ABOUT WITH FALSE SMILES NOW AND THEN...
This is an absolute classic, great sound and the visual input by the main dancing around countered by the almost motion-less guy makes for a very visual piece. The latter is an Art-piece himself! Timeless!
god i fucking hate steve wright, have you heard him at the start of this[ fantastic dance record] the twat rat faced cunt .he used to slag any music that was in any way alternative now he comes on like some hip cat , wanker. sorry about that people he just annoys me. sparks on the other hand are pure gold.
Steve Wright was the king of irony and wit, this was not a criticism, you have to take his comments with a large pinch of salt. He is just making a funny comment, try to take it in that light.
Great slow zoom in on Ron at 1:33 to go with the sinister music break

@mobyboy Very true, they were always at the forefront. If you notice, Ron also predated a very popular 90's hairstyle, 11 years earlier.
