I ranked them up there with Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, OMD and all the other 80's bands that I loved so much...

Have never ever heard about them? When were they famous? Did they do any song I migh know?

Avil, here are a few of their songs...

One Thing Leads To Another
Saved By Zero
Red Skies
Sign of Fire

They were a british band that really never were big there.... they had minimal success for a few years in the US.... their biggest hit being One Thing Leads To Another!

I bit of trivia for AV fans.... Rupert Hine produced several of their albums! As you may or may not know... Rupert produced Marian's solo album United.

I like the fixx... A lot!
I would say their sound is one of the more distinctive out there. Jaime west oram's guitar sound, and playing style, is about the most distinctive "new music" guitar. and the arrangements are usually head and shoulders above the rest, with thoughtful lyrics.
The only caveat I'd say, don't listen to an album like "phantoms" on a day when you are feeling depressed, or chemically altered of perspective.

S.M.I2.L.E! It makes people wonder what you're up to.
