All this sound is part of the EDM matrix of Giorgio Moroder and the 2 main and primary genres of this electronic scene: HI-NRG and Synthpop that Moroder himself forged since 1977. This album is another production by the genius Moroder. My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everyone calls me...the father, founder and pioneer of EDM and Modern Electronics / The Sound of the Future.

There might be songs you heard by them but you didn’t know it was Sparks, like Monster of Love (I didn’t know it was by Sparks at the time myself.), it was in the Valley Girl soundtrack. Music That You Can Dance To? I remember that one on local college radio. They used to play Cool Places (with Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Gos) on MTV. Maybe I just spent too much time listening to music in my room or watching MTV back then, now that I think about it.

Your art saves me when I feel dead inside, you're an obvious geniuses. I wish I was born many years ago to see your way from the very start, so it was great to see The Sparks Brothers documentary.

I agree, for all the songs on the Number One In Heaven album, which starts with a song about sperm and ends with a song about heaven. Along the way is this manic, frenzied run through some strange man's life. Is the man in the song one of the Maels? Well, not on one level, it seems to be from the viewpoint of some disco goer, possibly gay - two flat feet, meeting Liz (Taylor, or the Queen), no time for relationships - or at least not a conventional family man let's say. Quite possibly on drugs like speed or amyl nitrate, certainly not someone gently saving away for their retirement. Hence the frantic urgency of the song, expressing that fast-living lifestyle. But more than that, could it be a metaphor for the Maels' own musical career? How by this point as band they'd seen everything, tried everything, and were now racing to beat their competitors in the field of electronic pop music? Or is it about society as a whole, the increased pace of life due to technology and social changes? No time to be a child and stroll gently through life, rather societal expectations to do more, quicker? I love how the song could mean any of these things, or it could mean none! All the songs on N1IH have the same multiple interpretations.

I was just 7 yrs old when this came out and loved it..I wanted the single and went to wheelers on the sat but I couldn't afford it, my brother bought it and after hogging it the whole sat finally let me take to my bedroom on strict order if I scratched it I was done for..I never scratched it but near wore it out for a time. These guys did loads of great songs and most of the time I didn't even realise the dogs were being sung by the same guys..until I was older..no.1 song all over heaven will always be my favourite. Rave music before there was rave...lol

Откуда у вас в 70-х винил Спарксов ?Я их впервые услышал в середине 90-х, черно белый клип на эту песню есть в ретро стиле.Несколько лет назад на мусорке несколько выброшенных катушек с музыкой подобрал, в основном битлы, Маккартни, че-то еще и в том числе Спарксы.Пришлось купить Ноту 201, т.к. не на чем слушать было.Какой то их альбом конца 70-х, жаль только моно дорожка.

Thank God this wasn't wiped away in a late 70's clear-out. This was far ahead - about 10 years into House - even Kraftwerk weren't as up on the groove at this time. It's not in any way as great as "I Feel Love", but it ain't that far off.
