Having now made the transition into a full-blooded band that rocks, Lennox and Stewart could do no wrong and must be seen as one of the musical highlights of the 80s. To maintain such a high standard through six albums in four years takes some ... Full Descriptiondoing, yet here they go again, each time growing musically and adding that little extra, for example, the meaty harmonica opening on "Missionary Man," the harder drum sound on all tracks, and finally Stewart back to playing lots of guitar and sounding as though he is having fun. Hypnotic bouncy music that never threatens.

1983's SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) is actually Eurythmics' second album, but 1981's Krautrock-influenced IN THE GARDEN was never released in the US and made minimal waves in the rest of the world. Thanks to two striking videos and some canny self-promotion on the part of androgynous singer Annie Lennox, this was certainly not the case with this much-improved follow-up.
The hypnotic drone of the title track and the ticking, pressurized "Love Is A Stranger," were enormous radio and video hits around the world, but much of the album belies the synth-pop tag those songs earned. Dave Stewart plays bluesy slide throughout, and the respectful cover of Sam and Dave's ...

This came at the end of 1983, a particularly prolific period for Stewart and Lennox - they had already spent most of the year in the chart with "Sweet Dreams," released at the beginning of the year. This album shows less reliance on programmed instrumentation and a less "Germanic" feel to the production. "The First Cut" and "Right By Your ...

Revenge music CDs
$14.79
Ironically titled, considering it was the last Eurythmics album for a decade, 1989's WE TOO ARE ONE is a solid farewell from Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox. Rebounding from 1988's somewhat disappointing SAVAGE, the album is a well-produced collection of strong, diverse songs.
Perhaps too diverse; the contrasting musical paths the pair followed after their breakup can be clearly seen here in retrospect. The stomping "We Two Are One" and the Motownish "(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry," prefigure the more R&B-influenced direction of Dave Stewart's Spiritual Cowboys; while ...

This album replays like a greatest hits package, such is the content of full-blown memorable pop songs. The list is almost endless as this album is a chilling reminder of how good pop can be and how well Lennox and Stewart worked together. Even without the legendary Aretha Franklin on "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" there is the pace and guts of "I Love You Like A Ball And Chain' or the numerous confessional "I'll be's" of "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)". This album stands up to repeated plays and will continue to improve with age. What perfection.

Annie Lennox, the visual chameleon puts another face on; this time she is a blonde Barbie. Under the covers she is very much the familiar voice that became one of the most listened to throughout the 80s. This came towards the end, and as such is not the usual greatest hits package that many of their regular albums sounded like. Stewart was beginning to experiment with electronic sound (again) as Lennox seemed ...
| | Soda Stereo Sueno Stereo CD (1995)
Revenge CD music
$9.49
Principally recorded at Supersonico, Argentina and Matrix, United Kingdom.
After a decade of recording music on Sonydiscos, the now-seminal Soda defected back to BMG and made a record unlike anything else up to that point in its discography. Whereas the group's initial sound was bright-eyed, restless pop that looked outward to the new wave for inspiration, SUENO STEREO is the sound of a band with years of songwriting and touring success that made the group strong enough to look inward for its creativity. It easily stands out as Soda Stereo's most mellow, slow-tempo production. Gustavo Cerati's slow, earthy guitar-based approach to the production melds beautifully with ethereal expanses of melodic electronica, strings, and organs.
"Ella Uso Mi Cabeza Como Un Revolver" is entrancing if a bit morose, with punchy chords, creeping arcs of cello and violin and a reverb-heavy Cerati singing vivid images of the emptiness of being used. "Disco Eterno" recalls the deliberate, slower riff-rock of Pink Floyd's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Lulling, simple bass lines and robotic, spacey programming melt ...

Revenge Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Phenomenal
In 1986, the Eurythmics released their 6th album (counting the soundtrack '1984' which was made up of primarily Eurythmic's tracks) appropriately titled 'Revenge', and THAT they accomplished! This was a HUGE album in the UK and also made it to #12 in the U.S. in the top 100. It features 4 hit singles ("Missionary Man", "Thorn In My Side", "When Tomorrow Comes" & "The Miracle Of Love"), as well as steller tracks such as "The Last Time", "I Remember You", "A Little Of You" & "In This Town". Other highlights are the album's bonus tracks! There's a beautiful live acoustic version of "When Tomorrow Comes"-not available on any other release. This version is flawless and beautiful! Annie always sounds amazing live, but this version really showcases her talents. The other bonus tracks are great too, there's even a remake of an early song from their first album! This is a must-have for any Eurythmics fan, and also a great place to start for a casual fan. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
