It’s been long on the boil, but happily my massive overview of the Sparks discography has been published in Arthur magazine, as a companion piece to Chris Ziegler’s excellent interview with the duo for their upcoming album Exotic Creatures of the Deep and the 21-concert series next month and in June in London. And the cover:

Arthur’s site is here and you can order and/or download the issue — our pieces are in part 2. Enjoy! All thoughts welcome!

Is it my imagination or is Ron looking better for his years than the pretty Russell?

I’d say they both have it pretty well, in their own ways!

Ned, as an old Sparks fan I just want to congratulate you on a superb critique of Sparks’ 20 albums – you make some insightful comments. (I still think that “Interior Design” is a better album than most people believe though)!
Let’s hope the new album sees Ron and Russell getting the larger audience they deserve.

Thanks very much; it was my pleasure to do so!
