ALLMUSIC REVIEW

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Review by Mike DeGagne



The Fixx's music stood out from '80s radio, even though they shared the airwaves

with numerous techno bands and new wave groups. They had an intangible quality

to their lyrical flow and musical rhythm that kept them from sounding like

everyone else. On One Thing Leads to Another, the indistinguishable

characteristics become evident as all of their best songs are played out, making

for quite an amusing compilation. Four tracks do hover above the rest on this

12-song offering, opening with the clang and push of the title track, their

highest charting single (number four on Billboard in 1983). The mechanical

dream-like pulse of "Secret Separation" contains an unavoidable attractiveness

in its chorus, and the wispy but haunting "Saved by Zero" reflects a certain

science fiction motif. The paranoid "Are We Ourselves" has lead singer Cy Cumin

coming off like Peter Schilling, with the chorus one step behind him in the

background. The other eight songs are far from dry, complete with a hustle-and-

bustle flux incorporated by clean synthesizers and ridged pop tempos, tied up

with a rock styled flavor. This hits package is an enjoyable wallow through some

music that surprisingly has a difference.
