[/quote]Ron Mael on keys, and his brother Russell Mael was the older of the two vocalists, apparently, FFS stands for Franz Ferdinand and Sparks.

Dazed Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I realised it was sparks when they came on. Watched it, not impressed, quite disappointed as I was a bit of a sparks fan. I thought the other singer looked familiar. As it ended I recognised Franz Ferdinand so felt quite pleased my self Still wasn't keen. The lone below and Alabama shakes were better for me.

[/quote] Same here; didn't get the FFS thing at all - very odd match and not really sure what they're looking to do. I like Alabama Shakes anyway, but the Lone Bellow track blew me away. Not heard of them up until Later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My comment to the girlfriend was that it was 'Metallica and Lou Reed all over again', however I actually enjoyed the montage of both FF and Sparks they did at the end of the show - which is one song/s more than I ever liked from the former collaboration mentioned!

[/quote] One World is a great album to start with - just when he was getting into his SG/Echoplex stuff and features a really lovely ambient track (Small Hours) with Steve Winwood guesting on keys to close the album. I remember the first time I heard John Martyn was on an Alan Freeman Saturday afternoon Radio 1 show in 1977 - he played the track One World. I thought John Martyn was a black American blues singer, not a white Scottish folk singer. What a voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
