Sparks eventually released a limited edition stand alone CD.

Thanks for the added information Mike! I hope so too! So would this be the Mael brother's second film (at least)? They had a small appearance in a not so good movie called ROLLERCOASTER I believe.
I was thinking about Sparks related to this discussion. A lot of music that I love I have to be in the mood for. That is, there is a handful of artists that if I put it on and I never think, "oh I'm not in the mood for that". Sparks seems to be a band if I put them on I'm happy I did.
This strikes me as both wonderful and concerning.
