A London-based new wave group that managed to sustain a successful career in America for several years in the mid-'80s, the Fixx always flirted with the mainstream with their catchy, keyboard-driven pop. Formed by college friends vocalist/keyboardist Cy Curnin and drummer Adam Woods in the early '80s, the pair advertised in the music press for additional members; the remaining members of the group -- guitarist Jamie West-Oram, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, and bassist Charlie Barret -- all responded to the ad. Taking the name the Portraits, the band recorded a single for Ariola Records, "Hazards in the Home," which failed to gather much attention. Within a year, the band had changed its name to the Fixx and recorded "Lost Planes," the single that led to a record contract with MCA.

One of the few bands I know of where the bass guitar totally steals the lead guitar's thunder. And does so brilliantly, especially on Red Skies. An epic compilation of their big hits and a fun trip down New Wave memory lane. Takes me back to a simpler time, when real men snorted lines in the Nightclub bathroom - instead of swiping right on their cellphones. In the immortal words of Ronnie Van Zant (on the intro to Sweet Home Alabama) 'turn it up'.
Thanks, vtwin88cube. 🥂
