"...Never overplaying his hand, he impresses as the album goes on with an acute sense of subtlety, even when choosing to be flashy on the chop heavy Up and About. While an unaccompanied rendition of jazz standard Fever more than proves his ability to keep everything moving on his own.

"...you will be absolutely amazed by the latest compositions from Queensland based guitarist Michael Fix...ability to capture what he sees in life and to portray emotions and feelings and places and thoughts through his music and through his guitar is a gift few musicians posses.....tightly executed fingerpicking skills are Michaels trademark as he incorporates classical elements and flamenco influences with a strong twist of blues."

"While this atmospheric CD is dreamlike, Australian guitar virtuoso Michael Fix keeps it real with his strong sense of melody and bold attack. Except for one of the best renditions of "Fever" you're ever likely to hear, all the compositions on his sixth release are originals. Some are straightforward jazzy or bluesy numbers, but most create stories in the mind, which is not surprising, as Fix has written music for movies. "Footprints in My Heart" has a '50s noir quality, augmented by Scott Brown's sultry flugelhorn, while the distorted reverb on "4 am" nails the queasy, fuzzy-brained feeling of a sleepless night. Jo Lack's soaring violin is featured on both "Passionfruit," which opens the CD, and the closing title track, which modulates from Fix's tender arpeggios to a hyperactive reel and back again, just like disparate dream associations that somehow cohere and make perfect sense."
