Eurythmics is a British synthpop duo consisting of Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. They first recorded together as members of the new wave band The Catch, before changing their name to Eurythmics in 1981. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" in 1983, propelling them to become one of the leading synth groups throughout the eighties.
After pursuing solo activities in the early and mid-90s, Eurythmics reunited for an album and charity world tour in 1999. In 2004, they released extended, remastered editions of their previous albums and a second hits compilation. They also released one song under the alias "The Spheres Of Celestial Influence".
Eurythmics' discography includes notable albums such as "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", "Touch", and "Be Yourself Tonight". With their unique blend of synthesizers and powerful vocals from Annie Lennox, Eurythmics has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

Eurythmics album Touch. Available here on LP.

Mixing cold, hard, synthesized riffs with warm, luscious vocals, the duo crafted some of the most unique and trendsetting music the 1980s had to offer. Subsequent albums found the duo leaning heavier toward straightforward rock -- this album found them at the height of their electronic incarnation. The lead single, "Here Comes the Rain Again," is a melodramatic opus, complete with pre-techno beats, sweeping strings, and Annie Lennox' rushing, cool vocals. The soulful "Who's That Girl" is an icy, steamy throwback to the torch songs of yesteryear, with Lennox oozing sensuality from every syllable emitted from her lips. The final hit, "Right by Your Side," finds the duo in a cheerful, Caribbean-inspired mode. Other standouts include the seven-and-a-half-minute disco trance of "Paint a Rumour," the driving "The First Cut," and the icy, spellbinding, and sparse "No Fear No Hate No Pain (No Broken Hearts)." The cool, sophisticated musical experimentalism all over Touch cemented Eurythmics' reputation as one of the most innovative duos of their time; the hit singles solidified their reputation as dependable 1980s hitmakers and MTV mainstays. Touch is a testament to what Eurythmics were at the height of their electronic-techno phase and, without doubt, is a milestone in 1980s pop music.
