Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart were commissioned to score the 1984 film adaptation of George Orwell’s classic masterpiece. Most tracks are instrumentals, but this soundtrack yielded two UK singles for the duo: “Sexcrime (1984)” was quite popular on mid-80s dance floors and the ballad “Julia” is named for protagonist Winston’s lover and the heroine of the story.
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. ~ William Ruhlmann
