# Sparks - The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman

Heard 2009. 24 episodes.

The 22nd studio album from Sparks, The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman, released in 2009. This one is a bit different from their other albums, to say the least. It's a (fictional) radio drama/opera about Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman experiencing the horrors of Hollywood for the first time. It's something only Sparks could pull off. Not the traditional experience, but give it a listen! From my CD collection.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
