Sobre el álbum
Este álbum de 1981 es el debut del dúo y una de las obras más experimentales y atmosféricas de la discografía de Eurythmics. 'In the Garden', por lo tanto, es un trabajo grabado en Alemania con el legendario productor Conny Plank (conocido por su trabajo con Kraftwerk). De hecho, es un disco de synth-pop frío, melancólico y con influencias del krautrock.
En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es muy diferente al de sus éxitos posteriores. La producción es minimalista y busca una atmósfera oscura y, a veces, industrial. Como resultado, la música es a la vez bella e inquietante.
Además, el álbum cuenta con la colaboración de músicos de la escena del rock progresivo y el krautrock, como Holger Czukay de la banda Can. La voz de Annie Lennox, por su parte, ya demuestra su increíble poder y su capacidad para transmitir emoción.
A pesar de ser un fracaso comercial en su momento, con el tiempo 'In the Garden' ha sido reivindicado como una obra de culto. En definitiva, es un debut fascinante, el sonido de dos artistas que buscaban su propia voz, creando un lenguaje musical único que poco después los llevaría a conquistar el mundo.

Child in the distance A memory untamed Family connections There's a mess in the kitchen All messages received Always a quick reply The mood the afternoon Another change of light There's nothing like an English summer The telephone is good So wonderful and true We need the time to think Everyone's listening Another change of light The underlying truth Request to pack it in No solutions - Belinda3:58

Feel my body breathing in Touch the softness of my skin I am very beautiful I can be so beautiful I am very beautiful I could be successful My hands are moving My feet are tied Watch the way my hair falls down See the way my hair falls down I am very beautiful I can be so beautiful Touch the softness of my skin Feel my body breathing in My hands are moving My feet are tied My eyes are closing My mouth is wide I will let you touch me If you want to touch me - Never Gonna Cry Again3:05

Letra
Les animaux sont arrivés Jour par jour se travaille Dans le train En auto Sur les bicyclettes Les animaux sont arrivés Jour par jour se travaille Dans le train Chaque semaine Sur les bicyclettes Dans les rues C'est partout Dans les places publiques Toutes les bêtes de la cité Toutes les personnes fatiguées A les maisons retournent Les métiers c'est terminé Regardez Regardez Toutes les personnes fatiguées Quelle horreur qu'est ce que c'est C'est la vie juste la vie Presque la vie - Revenge4:31
Letra
She said revenge can be so sweet I like to take it when I can I need to play with the ones I hate I like to see them suffer It has to be dangerous It has to be refined It has to be skillfull You need to take your time She said I take care Of my resources You never know When you might need them She said: You got a snake And that's a good example You don't even notice it until you're bitten You learn to enjoy it I'm fast and I'm strong My reflexes are good It doesn't take long To achieve my deserved revenge Revenge
