Free Music Review: One Hit Leads To Another....
Hit: 5 Stars
WOW, a greatest hits package that is just that. Whether you only know "One Thing Leads To Another," and "Saved By Zero," or you know all the words to every song on the now out-of-print "Calm Animals" album, this collection will satisfy the entire spectrum. Let's face it. Few bands in the "Modern Rock Eighties" have been as successful, and as brilliant as The Fixx. I would be hard pressed to come up with a compilation that so elegantly shows the passion and true talent that this band has. All of their albums are represented here (with the exception of the acustic 1011 Woodland album); from 1982's "Shuttered Room," to 1998's "Elemental." Few bands are willing, better yet able, to put out such material from their entire career without a bad song in the lot. Sure, "One Thing Leads To Another" may be the song that broke them into the mainstream here in the states, but this collection proves that that one song was no fluke. Every song shows creativity, inventiveness, but most of all originality. In addition, the musicianship is impeccable-from Adam Woods' playing real drums that sound like a drum machine, to Jamie West-Oram's infectious style of guitar texturing, to Rupert Greenall's tailored keyboards and Cy Curnin's unmistakibly unique vocals, this is one talented band. The "Ultimate" collection is The Fixx at their finest. But, believe it or not, one could easily esemble an "Ultimate" Collection 2, and still have great songs left over. If you're a Fixx fan, you have this disc already, but if you don't, or you just want to have one of the best cross-sections of a band that's as relevant today as they were in 1982, then this is a must-have. You just might be surprised how great this band really is. Here's to Volume 2!
Ultimate Collection Poster
Long before the idiom "talk to the hand" entered public discourse, Cy Curnin was singing to his, a melodramatic tic that made Fixx videos and live shows seem pretentious, or at least odd. But beyond their frontman's Bowie affectations, the Fixx showed a consistent pop sensibility that earned them a loyal fan base in the United States, despite little success in their native England. And while early collaborations with producer Rupert Hines may have yielded their best work ("Stand or Fall," "One Thing Leads to Another," "Red Skies," "Saved By Zero"), this generous collection shows the band was capable of cooking up hooks throughout its decade-long run. --Bill FormanAlternative Rock Music CDs
