Rating: "There is no loyalty except loyalty to the party. There is no love except love of Big Brother. All competing pleasures we will destroy".
19(84) is a concept album created by the eclectic musical duo Lennox and Stewart. Composed as the soundtrack for Radford's film, inspired by the prophetic masterpiece by Orwell written in 19(48), which was a forerunner of multiple concepts and current themes. "Freedom is the freedom to say, 2+2=4, if that is granted all else follows.".
The innovation of Eurythmics, more than in the musical duo of voice-synthesizer, is evident from the visual impact, particularly with the subtly intriguing and ambiguous figure of Lennox. Throughout the work, dark electronic sounds predominate, alienating, introspective, repetitive and obsessive, over which the singer's fascinating and incisive voice is inserted. The tracks adapt and interpenetrate effectively as musical support to the bleak atmosphere of the film, accentuating its highly dramatic effect. The instrumental "Winston's diary" is as brief as it is delicate, while "For the love of big brother" is sinuous and engaging. "Is she a member of the Thought Police or just an amateur spy?".
"Julia" is a small masterpiece, poignant and refined, almost in contrast to the other tracks. Ann's interpretation possesses remarkable expressiveness and intensity. Julia, a pivotal figure in the film, is a woman in a desperate and vain search, together with the protagonist Winston, for sexual and psychological freedom. The characters evoke tenderness and participation, but unfortunately, they live a nightmare with no possibility of awakening. "The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world...it varies from individual to individual.". The pressing and pounding "Room 101", concludes the album. The English phrases were taken from the booklet.

Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four) (03:59)
Can I take this for granted
With your eyes over me?
In this place
This wintery home
I know there's always someone in
Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four
And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I'd been unborn
Wish I was unliving here
Sexcrime
Sexcrime
Nineteen eighty four
I'll pull the bricks down
One by one
Leave a big hole in the wall
Just where you are looking in
06 Julia (06:40)
When the leaves
Turn from green to brown
And autumn shades
Come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid
When winter leaves her branches bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling
Will we still be there?
Julia
When spring rejoices
Down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be
Just the same
Will we be there?
Oh Julia
