For a long time Eurythmics were my favourite band. I haven't really listened much to them for years - apart from their Krautrocking debut album 'In The Garden' (yes, really).
Between the pomp-rocking stadium angst, they did release a number of edgy, even challenging, albums. This soundtrack to the Richard Burton and John Hurt version of 1984 is suitably dark, mainly comprising rhythm-heavy, chanted moodiness and echoing the fusion flavours of 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts'.
However, right in the middle of the album is this simple, haunting ballad that spins yearning and loss from a minimal pallette of piano and synths.
