It was actually Red Skies that got me into The Fixx, though I did really like Stand or Fall quite a bit. Both videos were quite dark and atmospheric. So different than most other videos on MTV in those early days. Crazy story about the horse! I always thought it was great and strange how The Fixx were Tina Turner’s backing band on a couple of her songs on her breakthrough album, Private Dancer. Rupert Hine was the connection for that, though it was never mentioned in her documentary, Tina.
Not the entire band but Jamie West-Oram and Cy Curnin, who together create the distinctive sound. Funny you should mention Hine, Tina and Private Dancer. You'll see when my time for Tune Tag comes up. 😉
