I had mixed feelings about Eurythmics at the time but have since realised how good some of their early stuff is. Particularly, the power and projection of Annie Lennox and the resonance and ahead of its time quality of several of their singles and albums. Not to mention their image and Lennox's sexual persona.
I bought Touch at the time. Listened to it a fair bit at the time and liked it for sure without making a deeper connection with what was going on. I've reconected with it recently. It's difficult to make Pop music as good as this. Immediate but also resonant. It's difficult. If it was easy everybody would be doing it and the World would be an incredibly happy place.
