I just looked on emusic and they have "The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman" for $5.99. The strange thing is that it is only one track that is 64 minutes and 33 seconds long... hmmmm

Yes, another long time Sparks fan here. Sparks were clearly "ahead of their time" and even seemed like they came from another planet back then! One of a handful of bands that when I saw them on TV (back when "Propaganda" was released)I KNEW I had to get to the record store the next day to buy music from them.
So, that was early Sparks and so much to love from them during that era. But I was curious did anyone pick up their 2009 release "The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman"? I never even heard of this being released until recently. I believe it was music from a show they put together. What a curious mix Sparks and Bergman! I assume it's less of a straight forward record?
It looks like they had another release in 2011 too ("Music that you can dance to")!?
Curious if anyone here has heard these and have thoughts on them?
