The Fixx / Reach the Beach – CD (Used)

Description

Author: Fixx

Format: Import

Release Date: 25-10-1990

Details: Quirky keyboards, quirky new-navey hooks, quirky showman of a lead singer (the yelp-throated Cy Curnin)–in its mid-’80s heyday, few bands captured the fleeting tenor of the chart times better than the Fixx. A poor man’s Duran Duran, the group was perfect for the nascent rock-video age, perfect for the just-got-its-wings MTV, and it worked its datestamped shtick well into the ’90s. But the Fixx’s defining album/moment had already occurred in ’83, with the breakthrough « One Thing Leads to Another » smash, from a fairly solid sophomore album, Reach the Beach. Although critics today might pan the record as fey and mawkish, it won headline concert billing for an otherwise unknown London outfit. –Tom Lanham
