19 favourite Eurythmics tracks

so far in my experience
which soon will evolve...
here among songs made 1981-89


1. THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL
(PLAYING WITH MY HEART)

2. THORN IN MY SIDE

16. YOU HAVE PLACED A CHILL IN MY HEART

17. ANGEL (Elvis... on a Sunday)

18. ADRIAN

19. LOVE IS A STRANGER



Almost half of what Stewart & Lennox so skillfully has created I still have a difficult time to really enjoy, neither in a superficial or deeper way. While some songs per album I love more and more, simultanously in a superficial and deeper way.

Strangely enough their most famous TOUCH I feel less for than other albums. Their first two In The Garden + Sweet Dreams I seem to hold highest, viewed as whole experiences. Revenge and Savage I've listened too little to to estimate, even though singles from there were my very first impressions of Eurythmics over Sky Channel aso, when I was eleven. So this list can soon change a bit.

We Two Are One I must have lent from the library as more of an adult, after buying Dave Stewarts solo works, also some years after. This was still long before discovering the roots of Eurythmics, including The Tourists. And Lennox' great voice + acting skills I'm just beginning to realise clearly now.

01 August 2019

Lizard by King Crimson

Released soon after Abbey Road, known for one track already taking an obscure look back on the Fab Four's split-up.

However, most I wonder what would've happened if Jon Anderson of Yes had contributed to Crimson even more than in the beginning of title piece here - could they'd become the clearly most creative constellation in progressive music history then?!?


Listened to both on old disc and 40th Anniversary Remix by Steven W. which makes many sounds and words very much more possible to detect.

as my Autumn Album # 19:1
by kinda chakra based evaluation


most Whole Soulful piece : LIZARD part A) PRINS RUPERT AWAKES

most Introspective Dreamlike piece : LADY OF THE DANCING WATER

most Expressively Amusing piece : HAPPY FAMILY

most Beautifully Lovable piece : LIZARD part B) BOLERO

most Mighty Strongfelt piece : CIRCUS (incl. Entry of the Chameleons)

most Sexy Teasing piece : INDOOR GAMES

most Stable Solid piece : LIZARD part C) THE BATTLE OF GLASS TEARS



This is more jazz than before and maybe after... First I found the album less exciting or beautiful, but the more I listen the more I'm inclined to put it as King C:s most interesting and well-crafted record. Every shape of Crimson seems to be integrated extremely tight, almost all the time, while otherwise rather outspread to each piece's character.


Reminds me most of :
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Yes
Gentle Giant
Grieg
Ravel

Open Road with Donovan

at the start of the 70's

my Top 39 among Albums Released 1979

some pieces in the end are rather questionable (as always)
whether they really belong to progressive rock or something else??
though the upper majority are represented in forums as progarchives

however my definition is dynamic, kind of rhapsodic, longer pieces
in which rock guitar stuff use to be balanced
by orchestral or organ-based parts
