The single "Anyone Else" is classic Fixx. There's a new album in the works but no news on when that one comes out. If they come to a town near you, I strongly suggest making the effort to see them. They put on a killer live show - Cy is always entertaining and the band is tight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-49722606580071846802016-10-14T14:50:57.344-07:002016-10-14T14:50:57.344-07:00Great Post!

I love...Oh my gosh, SO AGREED about Chris de Burgh! I love "Flying Colours" (mainly for "Carry Me," which never fails to make me cry whenever I listen to it), but "Man on the Line" is just superb from start to finish. There's not a single weak track on that album, and it doesn't hurt that Tina Turner guests on a song, either.<br /><br />One more tidbit about Rupert Hine -- he also produced Stevie Nicks's "The Other Side of the Mirror," which I think is by FAR her best solo album (well, okay, "Bella Donna" is pretty great, too). "Rooms on Fire" seriously sounds like something he could have done himself. angstytimelordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404827655161390988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-34124195647217391592016-10-13T18:32:43.566-07:002016-10-13T18:32:43.566-07:00I think this is the first album you've posted ...I think this is the first album you've posted where I already have everything...but as the album and band are excellent and deserving of much more love than they've gotten from the masses since their heyday, I hope someone new discovers them through this post. They're a band worthy of digging deeper (and deeper) into their back catalogue. Start with Shuttered Room and keep going. The latest album, Beautiful Friction, is great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-22191027982739846512016-10-13T17:28:04.927-07:002016-10-13T17:28:04.927-07:00Sorry your day sucked. I can relate.
Back to the ...Sorry your day sucked. I can relate.<br /><br />Back to the FAR MORE IMPORTANT GEEKERY AT HAND HERE THOUGH... :D<br /><br />Technically speaking, Deeper And Deeper kinda belongs more with Phantoms. Though perhaps you weren't/aren't going to do Phantoms, in which case it fits just fine and dandy right here.<br /><br />Those (two albums) are/were definitely their greatest moments. If you're not familiar with them, I would highly recommend digging around and finding (producer) Rupert Hine's solo albums from this period, especially 83's The Wildest Wish To Fly. He was on a pretty hot streak during that era - Fixx/Saga/Howard Jones/Tina Turner, plus Man On The Line, the best record Chris De Burgh ever made by a large distance. But the combination was best with The Fixx. When you hear his own albums, there's a very definite "older/younger" brothers vibe to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
