I have always liked originals and let me tell you- these guys are ORIGINALS! I cannot believe these two albums were recorded in the early 1970's. Sparks is the most innovative, ever changing and fresh band, period. If one would play a few selections from these albums on college alternative stations, these albums would be on the charts today. Sparks is always WAY ahead of trends and these albums are no exceptions. Standouts for me are "Wonder Girl", "Big Bands", "Saccharin and the War" on the album "Halfnelson" and "Girl From Germany", "Nothing is Sacred", and the bonus track "I Like Girls". It is a shame that America didn't embrace the Mael brothers and the clever British adopted them. I would recommend these albums to any music lover who appreciates uniqueness and originality along with quality compositions and witty lyrics.Read full review
