AMG EXPERT REVIEW: While it is not billed as an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, this album does contain, as a jacket note indicates, "music derived from Eurythmics," original score of the motion picture 1984, and it was treated as a side project for marketing purposes, not as Eurythmics' full-fledged fourth new studio album. Fair enough. Much of the album is instrumental, and the closest thing to a pop song, "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" (which was a Top Ten hit in the U.K.), like the other vocal numbers, relates to the movie's future fiction theme. As such, the album is substandard if judged as an independent Eurythmics album, adequate if judged as a soundtrack. — William Ruhlmann

===============

Eurythmics fourth album was a soundtrack to the film adaptation of George Orwell's classic book "Nineteen Eighty-Four" about a totalitarian society under constant surveillance. The film starred John Hurt and was directed by Michael Radford. Eurythmics' soundtrack to the film demonstrates the duo's diversity and their continuing pursuit of musical innovation. Though not a pop album of easy-to-hum tunes, this record manages to capture the dark element of Orwell's vision and produce some memorable moments in the history of 80s rock.
The album is mostly instrumental, powered by rich, orchestral synth that creates an eerie mood of edginess and uncertainty. Still, songs like "Sexcrime" (released as a first single) and "I Did It Just The Same" recall the icy funk of the group's former albums, giving the record an element of powerful dance. Lyrical mastery is achieved on "Julia" (single no. 2), a haunting ballad infused with the loneliness of Annie's hallowed voice. And songs like "Doubleplusgood" brilliantly link the record to the themes of the film.

The director of the film (Michael Radford) expressed discontent with the music Eurythmics made for his film and was disappointed. Calling the music too trendy, he later said he regretted allowing the group to produce the soundtrack.

Radford's displeasure aside, the album is seamlessly produced driven by strong purpose and emotion.
