| | Moondance Jam - The Fixx |
 | | The Fixx, originally based in London, were first introduced to a mass audience in 1982, with their debut album, Shuttered Room.A collection of their best work to that point, it stood in contrast to most of the other New Wave albums of the time, with its tight musicianship and apolitical overtones. |
 | | React, released in 1987, was the band's last effort for MCA.Consisting of three new songs--each a solid effort--and a collection of live versions of their best-known singles, this album came off as a last-ditch effort to settle contractual obligations before moving on to a new label. |
 | | RCA signed The Fixx in short order, and the result was Calm Animals in 1988.This album found the band picking up the tempo again, with West-Oram's guitar more prominent in the mix and Woods and Brown taking a more aggressive, driving, and perhaps dance-influenced approach overall. |
