Chess

The Good Parts Version

Currently checking tracks to remind myself of which ones are boring

A1 Merano

A2 The Russian and Molokov / Where I Want to Be

A3 Opening Ceremony

A4 Quartet (A Model of Decorum and Tranquility)

B1 The American and Florence / Nobody's Side

B2 Chess

(nice instrumental reprising several themes)

~~B3 Mountain Duet~~

"this is the one situation I wanted most to avoid"... some good bits, but generally reaches the threshhold of insipidness

B4 Florence Quits

B5 Embassy Lament

~~B6 Anthem~~

powerful words, but lackluster music

C1 Bangkok / One Night in Bangkok

~~C2 Heaven Help My Heart~~

whiny ballad

C3 Argument

"there's a time and there's a place" and "why is ours on TV?"

C4 I Know Him So Well

C5 The Deal (No Deal)

C6 Pity the Child

D1 Endgame

kind of the vocal version of "Chess"

~~D2 Epilogue: You and I / The Story of Chess~~

insipid duet / yet another reprise of "Chess" with words
