While it is not billed as an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, this album does contain, as a jacket note indicates, "music derived from
Eurythmics." The original score of the motion picture
1984, 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.
