Amazon.com 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 Similar CDs

CD ReviewsExcellent Bonus Tracks Included!! D. Hawkins | Denver, CO | 08/07/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "The remastering job on this sounds exceptional, but it's the bonus tracks that make this a worthwhile purchase. The slightly longer version of "Saved By Zero" was often the version that I heard on the radio in the 80's (remember listening to the radio?). "Deeper and Deeper" of course is here in the definitive long version, but it's the extended version of "One Thing Leads To Another" that is the real catch. Clocking in at a whopping 8 minutes, this extended version rides one of the 80's best grooves into sweet bliss. If you remember the original album at all, then this bonus version should push you over the edge and into this very worthy purchase. You know you want it!" The Fixx-Reach the Beach-CD C. White | Gilbert, AZ USA | 06/18/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "I liked Shuttered Room better but this one is my second favorite CD of The Fixx. If you like The Fixx, you'll most likely like this CD." A Perfect Fixx E. Miller | Coatesville, PA | 07/09/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Quite simply put the best Fixx album and a must have for all 80's fans. The music is crisp and relevant to this day. Remastered and with bunus tracks I highly recommend this CD."
