Music That You Can Dance To was the duo’s most synth-pop leaning album after their critically acclaimed 1979 album, Nº 1 in Heaven, and featured songs both written and produced by the Mael brothers, including “Armies Of The Night,” written for and featured in the cult horror film Fright Night, the electronic driven “Change,” the double A-side cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Fingertips,” high energy “The Scene,” and the title track, which was featured in the 1986 cult classic BMX bike racing film, Rad.

Remastered by longtime Sparks mastering engineer Bill Inglot, Music That You Can Dance To (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) includes the album’s original tracks plus 17 remixes, previously unreleased demos and alternate takes. Among the bonus tracks are “How To Survive” and an acoustic version of the band’s 1974 #2 single “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us.”
