1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) is a soundtrack album by Eurythmics, containing music recorded by the duo for the film 1984 film Nineteen Eighty-Four, based on George Orwell's novel. Virgin Films produced the film for release in its namesake year, and commissioned Eurythmics to write a soundtrack.Most of the tracks are instrumental, with song titles and lyrics of two great stand out songs: Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four) and"Julia" I wish that this album had been givin the same treatment as the rest of Eurythics back catalog,Sony BMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalogue as "2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues, But I'll still take it as is.

1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) is a soundtrack album and much over looked 4th album from Eurythics. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart worked as a duo for these recordings, with no contribution from other musicians. This album was far from being synthpop; Stewart described some tracks as being like "Kraftwerk meets African tribal meets Booker T and the MGs.
