The Fixx - Phantoms

#208
August 1 1984
The Fixx
Phantoms
3.25 out of 5


Highlights:
Less Cities, More Moving People
Question
Are We Ourselves?

Reach the Beach was really good. 
This is like they reached the beach and got a record contract and were told, “go make that stuff you make so we can try to sell it and all make some dough.” And they did. And it all sounds perfectly Fixx-like, with it’s groovy basses and faux-funky rhythms. Put it on, you’ll forget it’s there. I did. 
And then I tuned back in and I liked what I was hearing. 
Harmless.
