"Another great purchase on amazon, which I received today in the mail. Waited quite a while before deciding to get it. I went on the Official Eurythmics Website and saw the video. After that, I knew I had to buy the single & help support Annie & Dave. "IGAL" has to be among my top 3 fave Eurythmics songs to date. To be honest, this is a top 5 list of my fave Eurytmics songs (from least fave to fave):



- Miracle of Love

- Come Together

- Beethoven (I love to listen to)

- I've got a life

- 17 Again



"IGAL" is a very powerful song, showcasing Annie's powerful & stunning vocals. God, the woman can sure belt out a song! Find me a women in music at Annie's age with this much class & lung capacity. Pretty difficult, huh? Annie & Dave look & sound mighty fine and they've followed with the modern sound right up until the present. Seeing them dressed in the same suits as back in the 80's on "Touch" is fab. They are the most remarkable pop duo of alltime and I love it! No wonder they've been accepted into the UK Hall of Fame.

Moving on, it's time to talk about the songs. "IGAL" is bouncy, rich in sound and so modern, compared to "Sweet Dreams" or any of the earlier hits. It's incredible how one song can showcase such an evolution in a duo's career. This song can make it on it's own in the clubs & bars, without being remixed. I think Annie's voice alone sells the song. The Sander Kleinenberg's Mix is pretty darned good too...although the Guetta & Garraud is better. Both should be and most probably are found in the clubs all across the country by now. I don't care much for "Sweet Dreams" as a song. Never did anything for me then and it doesn't now...although it's remastered. Have heard it so many times, I just don't see the difference in the original & remastered sound.

The video for "IGAL" is beautiful and sold me right away. Thanks Annie & Dave, for putting on such a great video. I can watch this video in the comfort of my own home without feeling like I'm robbing the artist of their money. Go & get a copy of this for yourself. You won't regret it."

Where's the David Guetta mix?

"Hot song and video, but the David Guetta remix of "I've Got a Life" is amazing. Too bad they didn't include it and/or some of the others here for this price."
