Side A's "Master Jack" is founded on a techno groove populated with synth stabs and electronic flourishes, while the flip side's "Magnet" does away with all but the sparest techno elements of beat and melodic sequences.

Partly dug into the mountain, the monument consists of a wall of more than 23,19673 white bricks, engraved with only the sparest of details: the names of the dead and the dates they died, arranged in chronological order.

We are only privy to whatever information the intake process requires, involving the sparest of details—eye color, hair color, country of origin—with the exception of one extended scene, in which a Nigerian refugee recounts his harrowing journey in a moving soliloquy that is half-rap, half gospel song.

Under Obamacare, the sparest plan that insurers can generally offer at all has to cover at least 60 percent of expected health costs — so the plans subsidized by the GOP bill won't just have higher deductibles and less coverage than the plans at the center of the ACA; they'll have higher deductibles and less coverage than the plans at the bottom of the ACA.

Robene and Makyne (also spelt Mawkin) are stock names for peasant characters, a shepherd and a country maiden. Henryson presents the two characters in the sparest of terms and much in the poem has to be inferred. Strictly speaking, nothing in the text verifies precisely who Makyne might be. In the first half of the poem she declares longstanding love for Robene but he is indifferent to her feelings.

"Real Friends" received media attention for its lyrics, which were speculated to be about Cabello's relationship with her former girl group Fifth Harmony. Cabello denied that speculation in an Access interview, saying that the song did not refer to anyone in particular but was about her lonely experience in Los Angeles while she was recording the album. Alex Petridis of The Guardian felt that the lyrics explored "nights spent feeling isolated while on tour". Elias Leight of Rolling Stone called "Real Friends" Cabello's sparest song in comparison with her past work.

Cumulative tale This Is the House That Jack Built In a cumulative tale, sometimes also called a chain tale, action or dialogue repeats and builds up in some way as the tale progresses. With only the sparest of plots, these tales often depend upon repetition and rhythm for their effect, and can require a skilled storyteller to negotiate their tongue-twisting repetitions in performance. The climax is sometimes abrupt and sobering as in "The Gingerbread Man." The device often takes the form of a cumulative song or nursery rhyme.

Bomp! Records evidently had numerous tracks all lined up when they decided to continue the Pebbles series, because this is one of the best albums of the entire series. One of the featured performers is the mysterious Milan (also known as The Leather Boy), who issued numerous classic singles under several different names in the 1965-1967 period; he was also an excellent songwriter and producer who has credits on many other records released throughout the decade. The surprisingly effective cuts by Modds and Barking Spyders are among the sparest garage rock tracks available; the former features only a guitar and tambourine plus growling vocals about a relationship breaking up, while the melody of the latter song — three notes up, three notes down — could scarcely be simpler.
