Sparks' fifth LP was 'Indiscreet', released in 1975. While it still referred to contemporary glam rock like 'Kimono' and 'Propaganda' , there were broader influences from outside of rock, such as vaudeville, jazz and classical music, with orchestral arrangements by Tony Visconti. Lead UK single 'Get In the Swing' sounds like a college anthem with a marching band. 'Looks Looks Looks' is a trad jazz song. It was less successful than their previous two LPs but still charted in the UK and US. From nearly 50 years later, as well as the less rock elements, and perhaps because of Visconti's other productions of the time, there are elements of Bowie in there, and it's also apparent to me that it influenced the next generation of British bands of the time, not least the young Associates, who probably started playing their early gigs at around the same time as the LP came out. It's fun (there are tracks called 'Tits' and 'Pineapples') and was probably fun to make. My personal note: 'Get In The Swing' is one of those formative songs, probably heard on Radio Two in the morning, and the tune has stuck in my head since then, but I couldn't have told you there was a marching band on it until I listened to it last year.
