With all the excitement in the air about upcoming releases, I'm getting hardcore into their music again.

For those that don't know, here's what's in the works for this year:

All of the Eurythmics studio albums reissued/remastered

leading up to a 2-disc set of rarities

The long-awaited new studio album from Annie Lennox "Bare"

Her first solo US tour ever!

What are you expectations? What would you like the new album to be like? What would you like to see included on the rarities discs? Will you be seeing her on this tour?

To get myself hyped, I've been making mix discs of different things. All thematic and all great!

Here's a sample:

Cri Du Chat:

1. Charlie Cat
2. Step on the Beast
3. Invisible Hands
4. Monkey, Monkey
5. Heartbeat Heartbeat
6. 4/4 In Leather
7. Let's Just Close Our Eyes
8. Baby's Gone Blue
9. Le Sinistre
10. Dr. Trash
11. You Take Some Lentils...And You Take Some Rice
12. ABC Freeform
13. Sweet Surprise
14. Sweet Surprise 2
15. Grown Up Girls
16. Satellite of Love
17. Tous Les Garcons et Les Filles
18. Darling Don't Leave Me
19. Home is Where the Heart Is

I can't believe I posted before Moonbeam!

btw - I'm lookin' forward to this release!

You need to show them our "Step on the Beast" stuff too! While I'm at it, I'll work on the artwork and try to post it here, if possible.

And now I'm working on a disc of remixes from approximately the same era. I don't have it fully together yet. Here it is in its early stages.

1. The First Cut
2. Cool Blue
3. Paint A Rumour
4. Regrets

--all Touch Dance vocal remixes--

5. Who's That Girl? - Alternate mix
6. Right By Your Side - Special mix
7. Sexcrime (1984) - Extended mix
8. Ministry of Love - Extended mix
9. Room 101 - Extended mix
10. I Could Give You A Mirror - Dream mix
11. The Walk part 2
12. The Walk - 12" mix
13. This Is The House - 12" mix?

anything I'm forgetting? any suggestions? were there official remixes of 'Love is a Stranger', 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Here Comes The Rain Again' released at the time. I don't want any modern sounding Thunderpuss shit.

You need to send it to me you little bitch!

TRON said:

Isn't "Who's That Girl" alt great?

So, uh... when can I get a copy of these personal mixes?

How about
1.Love is a Stranger
2.Here come's the Rain Again

crazyhorse said:

are there official remixes for those. I wanted to include the 'Lily Was Here' version of Here Comes the Rain but it's from too recently.

I went through all my emotions... and ended up here...

How do I convert from a .ntf file to a .jpg file? What's the program we use for the art, bro?

I love you boyz!

My fave of the last few days is Touch. I must admit, I am not as hardcore as you, but I love reading about this!

It's another sunny day in Paris!

gooeythehamster said:

What are your fave Eury songs?

June7 said:

Actually, you should ask my brother about this. I can't make the decision.

TRON said:

Anything from TOuch and Memories Of A Dead Man.

And the Elvis Costello song on Be Yourself Tonight.

gooeythehamster said:

"Adrian" is the BYT song. That's one of Ian's favorites too.

Do you know any of the songs on my Cri Du Chat disc?

TRON said:

Uh... ahem, Moonbeam? Still there? Heh, heh...

No, really, I was beginning to feel a little left out. I've dug the Eurythmics since the 80's when I first heard "Sweet Dreams"... I followed them even through the break ups, Annie's solo career has been nothing short of phenomenal!

The news of their reunion is very exciting.

TRON said:

Of course not. I cannot beat your collector fever.

TRON said:

cool collection... my faves are Charlie Cat, Monkey, Monkey - but i prefer the live versions of Satellite of Love...
but my favorite b-side will always be RICH GIRL. it'd like, damn. why wasn't this on the album??? it could have at least replaced that hideous HOW LONG.

do we know a timetable for the reissues? So far only In The Garden is out, that i'm aware of.

Add that to the list of things that make me a loser.

1. 5000 posts
2. collector fever

...anything else Gooey?

TRON said:

Ehrm...like...What?

I used to have all of their albums but I've never heard
of any of those songs. Are they b-sides or is that some
Tourists material or something???

IstenSzek said:

They're all B-sides and collaborative efforts on other artists' albums from 1981-1985.

I worked all night on that 2nd disc and finally got it how I want it.

TRON said:

You know I need a copy!

I always liked the "revival" 12", it had some very cool
sounds on it. Especially during that...

"you go r-e-v-i-v-a-l" bit. I can't remember it exactly
since my brother somewhow destroyed that cd single.

DAMN!

IstenSzek said:

"Revival" is one of the few Eurythmics songs I don't like. Does the remix improve on the original?

Moonbeam said:

It was one of those typical late 80's/early 90's remix
thingies. Nothing too fancy. But it did have some cool
sounds in it and pretty much was less urgent than the
original.

Moonbeam said:

I'm way ahead of ya. Consider it done.
