Album Notes
Eurythmics: Annie Lennox (vocals, keyboards); David A. Stewart (guitar, keyboards).
Additional personnel includes: Aretha Franklin (vocals); Stevie Wonder (harmonica).
1991's GREATEST HITS is a somewhat conservative compilation which unfortunately overlooks both 1981's IN THE GARDEN and 1984's FOR THE LOVE OF BIG BROTHER, two of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox's most interesting and experimental albums. That said, it's an excellent overview of the duo's career.
All of the band's singles and some of their better album tracks are featured here, in a balanced survey of their evolution from the chilly English art-rockers who recorded the hypnotic "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," to the soulful R&B-influenced pair responsible for the ripping "Would I Lie to You," the passionate "Angel," and the billowing "There Must Be an Angel Playing with My Heart." Many of Eurythmics' albums are somewhat uneven--1984's TOUCH and 1985's BE YOURSELF TONIGHT are perhaps the best--but this 63-minute collection is an excellent starting point for the neophyte.

    The Eurythmics are Annie Lennox (vocals, keyboards) & David A. Stewart (guitar, keyboards). Annie Lennox's dark seductive voice and counter-culture beauty only add the necessary jazzing up of the non-traditional rock-art songs with which they experiment. On this greatest hits album Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder join in. Let's call this 64 minutes of Lennox and Stewart's musical mastery vanilla mystery in comparison to some of their more controversial music from their 1981 and 1984 CDS.

    The duo has been called "English art-rockers," for lack of a category to put their music into. The near mono-tone straight-faced Lennox lead singing "Sweet Dreams" is what made their name in the beginning. The song and the artist projected an erotica that was becoming public and visible in bigger US cities, like Seattle, DC, Minneapolis, Atlanta, La Vegas, and NYC. Song's like "Missionary Man," didn't take much of an imagination to understand the hidden meanings thereof. In "Sweet Dreams," it was Stewart's and Lennox's special keyboard effects that sounded like whips that made their music intriguing to an emerging US sexual counter-culture; plus, Lennox's range of voice that went into songful screams of ecstasy.

    Their music always seems to leave me wanting and questioning, "did they really say and play what I just heard?" If it's erotica, it's understated enough to draw me into it.
