Analog love

Feeling compelled to segue from yesterday's excellent piano performance to a fine little solo number from the man. I guess the hook is the intro, which I'm sure you'll recognize. Despite the robot romance that it's evoked for the last 10 years or so, it actually makes a whole other kind of sense in its late '70s conception.

But this one isn't here for sample trainspotting purposes. Give a listen or two and honestly say you can resist the chorus.
Bouncy, sweet, and oozing with tender lyrical inspidness.

It's more than you can say for the album cover, which is an art director's nightmare. I get it, the album's called Master of the Game, but why does the master's hand have to resemble a confused crab? And why the chessboard staircase? The game is hard enough to master when the board is flat. Help us out George, will ya?
