The album was produced by Rupert Hine, singer Cy Curnin started working on the album while temporarily living in Africa. Walkabout was the first album to include bass player Danny Brown as an official member of the band, the album contained layered, synthesized textures and ponderous songs, in order to displayed a bit more ambition than the average band's album, yet its best moments arrive when the band focused on pop songs, such as the trancy "Secret Separation" and the nice and great tune along "Built For The Future", it was a really good throughout album and the songs aren't repetitive and there was a decent hidden track "Peace On Earth (Do What You Can)" also the band finished off with another great closing song, the ehtreal and entrancing "Camphor".
Reviews were mixed some nice some other not so really, many praised the album and considered it as a honest effort done by the group so far, marked by a deliberate attempt to 'uncomplicate' the group's sound, without sacrificing the poignancy of the social messages in the songs. Althought others wrote that "the Fixx were capable of creating polished but ultimately passionless and perfunctory pop-funk ... this is not a record that anyone's going to remember five years from now."
