Reach the Beach

by The Fixx

Reach the Beach cover art

Achieving massive multi-platinum success in North America while remaining relatively uncelebrated in their native Britain, this album perfected the group's highly atmospheric, synthesized rock sound. 'Reach the Beach' is defined by Jamie West-Oram's cutting, minimalist guitar lines interacting fluidly with Rupert Greenall's intricate keyboard textures. The cryptic, politically tinged lyrics of 'One Thing Leads to Another' and 'Saved by Zero' made them ubiquitous staples of contemporary modern rock radio.
