Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) was Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox's debut offering as the Eurythmics, following their departure from The Tourists. The partnership went on to be one of the most successful UK songwriting collaborations of the 80s, going on to win 1998's special Brit Award for lifetime achievement as well as being involved in numerous acclaimed solo projects. While Sweet Dreams is not the duo's finest hour, it certainly sets the premise for what was to come from this long and enduring partnership--Lennox with her hypnotic vocals and deliberately androgynous style and Stewart's experimental and yet essentially mature pop melodies. --Ronita Dutta
CD Description
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 somecanny 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 ofSam and Dave's "Wrap It Up" gives Lennox a chance to showcase her soulful growl which would, on subsequent albums, replace the chilly soprano featured here.
