22nd Studio Album on 180g Double LP!
Newly Remastered for Vinyl!
Includes Special 12-Page Booklet + Exclusive Liner Notes by Ron Mael!

The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman is the 22nd studio album by Sparks and was originally released in August 2009. The album's concept is focused on an imaginary trip to Hollywood by Ingmar Bergman. The album is the duo's first foray into the radio musical/rock opera genre.The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman has been newly remastered for this LP reissue, which is released on heavyweight vinyl.

Only Sparks could do this....Obscure, of course - delightfully warm, naturally; it underlines Sparks' greatness and importance.
-Daryl Easlea, Record Collector, 5/5 stars
A lyrical opera commissioned by Swedish National Radio that musically imagines a young Ingmar Bergman trying to make his way in the Hollywood system. It plays right to the Maels' strengths for playful storytelling, pop culture allusions and unforgettable melodies. In the liner notes, Ronald expresses a hope to bring Bergman to the silver screen. Make it so, Hollywood.
