This sound pervaded Eurythmics' second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). Drawing on the electronic music influence they'd picked up in Germany, they developed a sound that was, as Stewart told Classic Pop magazine, composed of 'cold, European, hard, tough-sounding synthesizers with a soulful voice.' Undeterred, the duo rented an attic room above a picture-framing shop using money that Stewart secured by dressing up 'like a businessman' and convincing a bank manager to give him a loan, he explained in a 1983 interview with Musician magazine.
