Walkabout by Fixx (The) (CD, Jan-1986, MCA Records USA)

This release is a must have for true Fixx fans . It shows a deeper side of the Fixx in both complexity and diversity . This album explores spiritual and emotional areas of Life , and shines a light on the musical ability of this wonderful group . Although this band has not been a force to reckon with since the prime period of the 1980's , thanks to the music industry which blacklisted groups from the 1980's throughout the 1990's , this release shows why the success of the previous albums hit the charts as they did . This particular recording finds the Fixx exploring religion, philosophy, and good old fashioned rock and roll stylings in composition and form ! I bought this cd because I am a true Fixx fan , and any true fan will find this cd is essential to their collection . From the pop ready "secret seperation" to the complex title track "walkabout" , this group demonstrates their ability to enter both the pop arena, and the serious rockers genre . It proves itself worthy of the same chart topping success of "Reach the Beach" , and the cerebral stylings of "the Shuttered Room" ! Any Fixx fan will find this title a must have if they want to explore the Fixx to their deepest moments in musical stylings !
