For lovers of incandescent pop, Peace is like manna from heaven. . . new music from Eurythmics. "We should've jumped out of that airplane after all," Annie Lennox sings, in the gorgeous "17 Again," and the listener is transported again - to the unique aesthetic sphere of Annie and Dave's unmistakable vocals, indelible melodies and trademark musical risk-taking and ambition. There are indeed echoes, in the 11 potential classics that comprise the new album, of vintage Eurythmics ("Sweet dreams are made of anything/that gets you in the scene," Annie slyly comments, in "17 Again"). But this music is emphatically Eurythmics for the new millennium, absolutely contemporary, yet poised for timelessness.
