R.I.P. Rupert Hine-record producer*

I’m a huge Fixx fan. RIP Mr Hine

 

I like what he did as a producer for Rush and Suzanne Vega. I still have to check out his own music one day.

 

Had a huge impact on Howard Jones best ever album Humans Lib.
He seemed to be a huge influence on Howard.
I think he produced the album also.
RIP

 

Oh horrible news....I love THE FIXX.... just recently(pre-covid)started to purchase any used FIXX c.d 's I could find R.I.P. RUPERT!!

 

In addition, Hine recorded eleven albums, including those billed under his own name, the pseudo-band name Thinkman, and as a member of the band Quantum Jump.

 

A great artist. Sad to see him go. Somewhere I have a phone interview with him I have done nothing with.

 

beyond sad. one of my fav producers and his releases were all top notch. so sad.

 

RIP, great producer as already mentioned by others. I also have one of his albums on CD, the quirky Waving not Drowning that has a some good songs on it. Will play it tonight.

 

Waving Not Drowning is a masterpiece, RIP!

 

Sorry to hear about this. I liked some of the work he did with the Fixx.

Died following a long battle with cancer.

HITS Daily Double : Rumor Mill - RUPERT HINE, 1947-2020

 

Loved his work with The Fixx. R.I.P.

 

Always thought this was a very underrated album and track. Great production by Mr. Hine.

 

Massive Rush fan....but his work on Suzanne Vega’s Songs in Red and Grey is how I’ll remember him - his work there is superb.

 

So sorry to hear this. The man was everywhere in production for quite a while, but I really loved his first solo album:

 

Hines’ fondness for treble chafed me a bit; but, I respected and admired the creative aspect of his work, particularly his knack for pop hooks. He produced some outstanding records, including several personal favorites – Camel’s I Can See Your House From Here, Saga’s Worlds Apart and Rush’s Roll The Bones.

Also heard of him being a quality dude and well-liked. This came through in his brief appearance on "Beyond The Lighted Stage" (Rush documentary).

Saddened by his passing. The man, and his talents, will be missed. But his legacy lives on – play it loud (with a pinch of bass, if you please)!

 

He did two for Saga: Worlds Apart and the follow up, Heads Or Tales.

 

RIP Mr Hine

Thank you for your contributions with The FIXX.. really enjoyed those first four albums and Ink from The FIXX.

 

HITS is still around, I had no idea.
I'd forgot Hine had done the first Duncan Sheik album, loved that album.
