Title: Talk About A Crime!
Review: One of Annie & Davie's most stunning, original, haunting, and yet criminally ignored albums, both critically and commercially. Maybe it was the reticence of US radio to push a single that said "Sexcrime" in the title? Maybe it was the dismal, downbeat, and box-office failure of the film? Maybe it was because the label pushed this as a side project/soundtrack rather than a "real" Eurythmics album, but make no mistake, this is some of the Eurythmics' BEST work ever, featuring memorable songs like JUILA, I DID IT JUST THE SAME, ROOM 101, DOUBLEPLUSGOOD, and many more. Tellingly, while all the other Eurythmics albums got the deluxe re-issue CD treatment in 2006, only this album has been somehow left behind, discarded like one of those prisoners in Room 101. Look for it on import or in the bargain bins, but do get it - you won't be sorry - the mixture of Dave's cold, clinical soundscapes and Annie's fiery, passionate vocals (like Yaz) cannot be denied.
