Product description

"Phantoms," the third studio album by the English new wave band The Fixx, is a captivating journey through the sounds of the 1980s, blending the raw energy of new wave with the electronic textures of synth-pop. Released in 1984 under MCA Records, this album is a testament to The Fixx's ability to craft compelling, rhythm-driven music that resonates with listeners.

The album opens with "Lose Face," setting the tone for the 12 tracks that follow. Each song is a masterclass in dynamic composition, with tracks like "Are We Ourselves?" and "Facing The Wind" showcasing the band's knack for creating memorable hooks and intricate rhythms. The Fixx's signature style, characterized by complex time signatures and powerful beat patterns, is evident throughout "Phantoms."

Standout tracks include "Woman On A Train," a hauntingly beautiful piece that highlights the band's versatility, and "Less Cities, More Moving People," which encapsulates the album's themes of movement and change. The album's title track, "Phantom Living," closes the record on a reflective note, leaving a lasting impression.

With a runtime of just over 42 minutes, "Phantoms" is a concise yet impactful body of work. It's an essential addition to any fan of new wave and synth-pop, offering a glimpse into the innovative spirit of the era. The Fixx's "Phantoms" is not just an album; it's a piece of musical history that continues to inspire and entertain.

This LP was released in 1985.

  • Sound Quality Shines, Songwriting Lacks

    4 out of 5 stars
    dceaprutsAugust 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The record has fantastic sound quality (engineered by Stephen W Taylor, and produced by Rupert Hine), but the songwriting is a bit disappointing.

  • Flawless See-Through Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    L.O.RonpapcSeptember 1, 2024United States🇺🇸

    When I hold my copy up to a strong light, it's a see-through dark copper color. This album is flawless, from beginning to end.

  • Club Press: Amazing and Affordable

    5 out of 5 stars
    TiPtowJuly 8, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This press sounds amazing, in my view. I get it's for clubs, but it's great. Plus, the tracks are awesome. Why's it so cheap? Seriously, stop it.

  • The Fixx: New Wave Exception

    5 out of 5 stars
    TIvwgzokMay 16, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I've never been into the New Wave scene, but the Fixx stand out as my sole exception. This album is absolutely fantastic.

  • Gloverville Pressing Sounds Incredible

    5 out of 5 stars
    vonogFebruary 11, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Having only the original US CD version to compare to, I must say this Gloversville pressing sounds absolutely incredible! The mix is superb and the spacious soundstage creates an amazing listening experience.
