SPARKS Balls (2008 issue UK 13-track CD album - Released in 2000, 'Balls' was Sparks' 18th studio album; it featured, as ever, Russell on glorious quasi-operatic falsetto, while Ron handles keyboards and programming. Apart from a few intrusions,'Balls' was a solely Mael brothers affair, a foray into pure electronica/techno influenced by British outfits such as The Prodigy. This 2008 issue comes expanded with 2 Bonus Recordings including 'Calm Before The Opera' and it's full length instrumental, presented in sealed digipak sleeve)
