Re INDISCRETE. It wasn't Sir Bash's cup o tea and Mike said..
Really, KIMONO and PROPAGANDA are it. INDISCREET has some of those
elements
on certain songs, but it goes in a lot of directions, aided by Tony
Visconti's production.
Well, for what it's worth here is my impressions.
I always heard PROPAGANDA as improving and perfecting what they were
going for on KIMONO (I don't think I'm in the majority on that
belief). So, yes I like PROPAGANDA better then KIMONO. Yet, to my
ears, they were still growing, my fav Spark's disc is INDISCREET.
For me, INDISCREET expanded their song style in a way that worked
wonderfully. When I first heard this record when it was released, I
was very disappointed in it. Per at the time, it seemed like to big
of a departure from "PROPAGANDA". However, it is now the one I'm most
likely to play. I just don't grow tired of it. Plus, it's full of
great humor. Of what I have heard, I still have not fallin in love
the same way with Sparks post INDISCREET (with their new one being
the exception)
Lastly and subjectively...has their been a better and more apt named
band then Sparks? Also, they had so many great album covers (with
PROPAGANDA and INDISCREET at the top of the list for covers too).
best, Steve
