Reviews
WHAT an opening one-two punch... I nominate 'Secret Separation' for the 'Greatest-Ever-Church-Song-Not-Actually-Written-By-The Church' Award, and that is followed by the superbly enigmatic and brooding Fixx classic 'Built For The Future'. For what it's worth you can hear where 1980s Alex Lifeson copped a lot of his ideas and sonic textures; meanwhile ex-Isotope alumni Dan K. Brown's finger-breaking bass work on 'Can't Finish' invites comparison with a certain Mr Lee.
For it,s one of best Fixx works :-) Im surpised with bad rates of this album. If You love vibes of the 80,es pop, it,s must to have, im sure and i know what im talking about :-) I can reccomend
