Like most of the album, from which this track comes, the song's real appeal (for me) comes from Mike Garson's soaring piano work. The piano sounds in say Hunky Dory (done by Rick Wakeman) just add body to the tracks (except for, say, Life on Mars) but Alladinsane is just crammed full of smart keyboard licks. Starting from the psudo-Germainic, high-kicks of Time and ending with this luscious feast of seductive melody the album is a masterpiece of musical theater. I love it.
