Description Released on 15 May 1983, Reach the Beach is The Fixx’s second studio album and their commercial breakthrough. Anchored by the hit single “One Thing Leads to Another,” the album blends sleek synth textures with urgent guitar lines and introspective lyrics, capturing the tension and polish of early ’80s new wave.

Produced by Rupert Hine, the record features standout tracks like “Saved by Zero,” a minimalist anthem of detachment, and “The Sign of Fire,” which channels Cold War paranoia into rhythmic precision. The album’s surreal cover art and thematic cohesion reflect the band’s cerebral approach to pop songwriting.

With crisp production and emotionally resonant performances, Reach the Beach remains a defining entry in the new wave canon and a must-have for collectors of 1980s alternative rock.
