There is much to like about this long-forgotten Eurythmics classic. The standout, however, is Lennox's hauntingly majestic "Julia." There could be no finer vocal moment than this masterpiece. No other song of theirs so perfectly matches her beautiful alto tones.
"When the leaves turn from green to brown and autumn shades come tumbling down. To leave a carpet on the ground where we have laid." Much of the soundtrack seems to go in another direction from Orwell's pen, but this song so perfectly captures the melancholy mood of his literary brilliance. "Sexcrime" and "Doubleplus Good" are great, but the magic of this album always comes back to "Julia." It's too bad modern Eurythmics compilations seems to ignore the great tracks ... Read More:

One of Annie & Davie's most stunning, original, haunting, and yet criminally ignored albums, both critically and commercially. Maybe it was the reticence of US radio to push a single that said "Sexcrime" in the title? Maybe it was the dismal, downbeat, and box-office failure of the film? Maybe it was because the label pushed this as a side project/soundtrack rather than a "real" Eurythmics album, but make no mistake, this is some of the Eurythmics' BEST work ever, featuring memorable songs like JUILA, I DID IT JUST THE SAME, ROOM 101, DOUBLEPLUSGOOD, and many more. Tellingly, while all the other Eurythmics albums got the deluxe re-issue CD treatment in 2006, only this album has been somehow left behind, discarded like one of those prisoners ... Read More:

It is nice to see such good reviews for this little-known gem. There are a few great songs on here, especially "Julia." However, I have never understood why they changed "Thought crime" to "Sex crime" in the first song. My memory is that the book talks only about "Thought crime," although I last read it in 1984, so I could be wrong. I find that its easier to listen to this Eurythmics album 20 years later than most of their other ones - in fact, I really just listen to a song here or there on most of the other albums. Grab a copy of this before it goes out of print! - the sales ranking is pretty darn bad.
