...answer will take a while to develop. Fischer's first-round victory -- Spassky resigned after making his 49th move -- displayed some tentativeness coupled with sound, patient, relentless strategy; there was nothing particularly brilliant about Fischer's game, but nothing reckless or stupid either. The rules of this exhibition -- adapted to Fischer's specifications -- seem to reward circumspect strategy, since the prospect of saving a risky mistake by playing to draw afterward has been rendered unprofitable.

But forget them-Bell does. The high point of the album comes on "Take A Chance on Me," where he leaves the lyrics behind and babbles a blissful "ba ba ba ba." And the concept is hilarious: Erasure is just a latter-day incarnation of ABBA, after all--they're both gooey, disco-ey, selfparodying pop groups. Thus this album is self-parody...
