Overview

Phantoms is the third studio album by English new wave band the Fixx, released in 1984 by MCA Records. It contains the American hit "Are We Ourselves?", which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1984. The song hit No. 1 on Billboards Album Rock Tracks chart, staying at the summit for several weeks. It was also assisted by a popular MTV music video. The album's cover art was provided by George Underwood, who had also provided artwork for the band's previous album, Reach the Beach (1983), and went on to illustrate future Fixx releases including Calm Animals (1989) and Beautiful Friction (2012). Critical reception The Rolling Stone Album Guide considered the album to be "interesting only as a matter of nostalgia."

— Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic's Dictionary (1906); republished as The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
“Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.”
— Arthur C. Clarke 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) "Foreword"
“Whence and what are thou, execrable shape?”
— John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 681
“Ghosts are not the souls of the dead, but the souls of people written out of history when history changes.”
— Alastair Reynolds The Fixation (2009), reprinted in Deep Navigation, (p. 66)
“I kept on ignoring him. The dead are only ghosts, after all.”
— Sean Stewart, Perfect Circle (2004), , page 233
“The unexpected disappearance of Mr. Canning from the scene, followed by the transient and embarrassed phantom of Lord Goderich. (Quoted, "He flits across the stage a transient and embarrassed phantom.")”
— Benjamin Disraeli, Endymian, Chapter III
