I took my boys, age 5 and 8 then, in '03 to see Sparks in Central Park - they still talk about it!
Now they like when I put on the Kimono My House LP. They're growing up knowing SPARKS!
I'm so proud!

Choscura, This is a DECONSTRUCTION of pop music. The influences are Rap music, Silent Movie Music, and Minimalism. The entire album Lil Beethoven is deconstruction. It's NOT supposed to have drums and a bass line. Sparks deconstruct themselves too. They helped put the beat in pop music in the 80's and now they took it out. In the mundane world of pop they CONTINUE to be innovative. Something that is hard in ANY genre of music. They invented a new vocabulary in the illiterate world of pop.

Everytime I hear this song once again, I'm impressed by how amazing it is and shocked why it isn't well known all over the world!

Great old song

@lacunalunacy I'm guessing they also had a not inconsequential effect on you too...

@SpikeMatthews Sparks was a huge influence on all electronic music created after the 70s. Much like a rock thrown into a lake, Sparks has made huge waves in the world of music. If you look carefully, you can even see the ripples cascading off the shoreline.

@OhhLivia33 Me too - the rest of the album is great too. If you get a chance to buy the DVD of their live show for this tour (Li'l Beethoven), then do so. It is simply awesome.
