Sparks - "№ 1 in Heaven" (1979)

The eighth full-length from this Los Angeles pop act sees them championing a sound that combines electro, disco & pop for a result that comes across as very European. In fact, I'd suggest that it possesses a bit of a Eurovision Song Contest vibe which can't be a good thing as a lot of the album is simply too cheesy for my lactose-intolerant ears to cope with. 

For fans of Kraftwerk, Gina X Performance & Explorer.
