Additional informationSparks includes: Ron Mael, Russell Mael. Sparks: Russell Mael (vocals); Bob Haag (guitar, background vocals); Ron Mael (keyboards, synthesizer); James Goodwin (synthesizer); Leslie Bohem (bass, background vocals); David Kendrick (drums); Mack (programming). Recorded at MusicLand Studios, Munich, West Germany. ANGST IN MY PANTS is a full-length release by Christian group Sparks, featuring 11 tracks including "I Predict," "Mickey Mouse," and "Nicotina." Possibly the best album in Sparks' long and varied career, ANGST IN MY PANTS is also a perfect example of American synth-pop at its most musically and lyrically creative. From the gently throbbing title track through to the completely bizarre, pounding "Eaten By The Monster Of Love," every tune is a perfect marriage of amazingly catchy keyboard-dominated pop and surreal, almost Dadaist lyrics. Singer Russell Mael delivers his keyboardist brother Ron's prolix, pun-filled, and engagingly satirical lyrics with just the right notes of silliness and sincerity. Such tunes as "Instant Weight Loss" and the Beach Boys pastiche "Sextown U.S.A." definitely stand out. It's a rare and impressive feat to make an album that's consistently funny without being merely jokey. With the brilliantly titled ANGST IN MY PANTS, Sparks created just such an album.
