S8E2 - 80s Synth Pop: Eurythmics (Overrated) & Deux (Underrated) - with George Pringle

We're travelling to one of our favourite eras, joined by special guest George Pringle (en.wikipedia.o...) - a music producer, artist & gallery owner.
George made both playlists for this week's episode, and we start with a discussion about Eurythmics. Their influence in synth pop is undeniable - as was Annie Lennox's look, attitude and progressive politics - but is the hype justified?
Fran & Babs had never heard of Deux, a French synth-pop duo formed in Lyon, who determinedly made music to listen to in your bedroom. Will we want to join them with George at Paris / Orly, or is it all too much of a Game and Performance?
You can find ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the ⁠playlist for this episode on Spotify (open.spotify.c...) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - it includes all the songs from our playlist, plus bonus songs from other artists we've discussed during the episode.
