What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



I need a redo on this one. Not the listening of, the purchase of. I wouldn't do that again.
Contains music that was made for the film 1984. All of the music was made by Dave Stewart and
Annie Lennox and was not the usual synth/pop the duo is known for. That's not really a bad
thing. In fact some of it is pretty good music, but that's it, mostly music with no lyrics,
expect maybe Annie singing non words. Sorry, listen to track 1 and you'll know what I mean.
Here's where the story gets strange. After the group was signed to do this project, film
director Michael Radford hated it and refused to use it. He had made backup plans for his own
orchestral score, which was used in the film. So this album got no bump from that promotion.
There were two singles released, Sexcrime and Julia. The first was a top 10 in the UK but
didn't do much here. Same with the album, a #93 here and a #23 there.
