    Rock / New Wave / Synth Pop / Dance Rock

    Following the release of their boxset Sparks: New Music For Amnesiacs, The Ultimate Collection, Sparks now release a condensed 2 CD selection spanning their 40+ year career entitled Sparks: New Music For Amnesiacs, The Essential Collection. One of the most influential bands in pop, Sparks have been at the forefront of music from the glam rock of the 70s, their reinvention as an electronic pop duo when collaborating with Giorgio Moroder, through to their most recent chamber rock/pop. Their frequently changing styles and visual presentations have kept them on the cutting edge of modern artful pop music.

    Ron and Russell Mael are held in esteem by such bands and performers as Morrissey, MGMT, Sonic Youth, Arcade Fire, Bjork and Depeche Mode all of whom have cited Sparks as a major influence. Starting with their first album, originally released under the band's former name 'Halfnelson', and concluding with tracks from 2008's Exotic Creatures Of The Deep, these 40 songs provide the perfect introduction to this extraordinary band's career.

    If there's anything you can't accuse Sparks of, it's being understated. For over four decades, the brothers Mael have been gifting the world with a brand of quirky and intelligent pop music that seems to revel in its theatricality. Looking to distill their sprawling 22-album discography down to its most essential parts, Sparks have released New Music for Amnesiacs: The Ultimate Collection, a four-disc career retrospective featuring 81 tracks hand-selected by Ron and Russell themselves. With the band offering a guided tour of its massive back catalog (minus any selections from The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman), listeners are treated to a collection of tracks that the band feels best define who Sparks are. Along with this impressive audio biography, New Music for Amnesiacs also comes with plenty of collectible materials, including a hardcover booklet of liner notes, replica posters, backstage passes, and photos of the duo. While the extensive collection of tracks makes this set a great entryway into the wild and weird world of Sparks, the extra goodies make this collection a real treat for die-hard fans.
