SPARKS

Someone ("Hidden Treasures") has posted the whole soundtrack on YT. It's always been one one of my favourite Sparks albums, though I know that opinion isn't shared by everyone.
Anyway, thought I'd mention in case anyone else is interested.

Just when l think Sparks can no longer surprise me,this pops up....
I knew of the soundtrack but had never heard it before .....admittedly, it's not my favourite Sparks endeavour (😂) but really good to hear it all....
Good fun and thanks for posting!!

It's most certainly an acquired taste (😂) but an interesting note in the Sparks history book!

It certainly was a very fun moment listening to that, but it definitely sounds a little bit too 80's for me...
However I found the song "Bad manners" very cool!

I really like that deadcalm......
I still really wish they would gather all their bits and pieces that are strewn all over the Internet and put them onto one big juicy cd that l could add to my collection.....maybe some day!

I had a listen to this - never heard of it before but I kinda like it, it's fun, and very "of its era"!

Soundtracks have a different vibe to albums: I heard someone on a podcast saying that they really didn't like Don't Go Away from the Spaceman soundtrack (although they got the title wrong), that it was long and boring, but I assume it was designed to be played over the closing credits in which case it works really well (and Russell's vocal is dreamy).

Absolutely Judes...it works beautifully at the end of the film and rather poignant in the light of what has been going on in the movie....another reason to stay with a film until every credit has rolled...all films not just this one!
(mind you l think it's a great stand alone song too)

Also, I think repeated listening reveals lots of subtle nuances in this track ... it becomes more and more interesting and less and less 'boring'
