Welcome to Glen Gafter's homepage.

Serving interests for musical groups Rupert Hine, The Fixx, and (maybe one day) Brand X.

...under construction

Here are the contents of my RUPERT HINE info archive.

There is a discussion list devoted to Rupert's music and production work called "THE CURIOUS KIND." Here is the WELCOME MESSAGE.

If you are REALLY interested in Rupe's music/career, take a look at "TAMBOO," the multiple award-winning site put together by Tim Catinat and Michael Roden. Click HERE for an amazing experience.

Jonas Warstad, of Sweden, has a site with a nice, brief discographical itinerary of Rupert's solo recordings; if you are so inclined, pay it a visit too. Check out the rest of his site which has lots of 80's bands info and links!

Here is the old README file from when this material was on my ftp site (as the above link format, in the process of being translated to html).

Some extra information was included in Rupert's solo albums from the 80s, when they were released on CD (they have in the last couple years been rereleased on VoicePrint Records) from the IMMUNITY album, from the WAVING NOT DROWNING album, and from the WILDEST WISH TO FLY compact discs. Also, the text that was included in the SHALLOW END CD single of late.

Next, the various MAGAZINE ARTICLES that have been translated from Swedish and German to English. Have a read of the articles that were translated from Swedish by Anders Wahlbom: one from 'DAGENS' from April 1982; and three from 'SCHLAGER' magazine, from April 1981, May 1982, and one from 1983 (month unknown). Anders also translated INTERVIEWS that appeared in Swedish magazines: 'HIFI & MUSIC' #12 from 1982, 'SCHLAGER' magazine from March 1982, and one (excerpt) from a Saga interview from March 1983; plus one from Media Foer Musiker from October 1988.

Also here, a translation of a German radio interview with Rupert from October 1988!

Lastly, a very brief review from 1995 for "THE DEEP END" album, in the Dutch magazine 'Oor' (which means "ear").

Here is my LIST OF ARTICLES that I put together, which my own collection comprises of (except where noted); this might one day be available for interested parties, time allowing. Ultimately this may be available HERE, when they are compiled, and scanned.

I've only just begun transferring to this text-style format, the rest are available at the index here. More stuff (more discographical info, more articles and interviews, and cool promo pix) will be coming whenever time allows. I also interviewed Rupe in 1997 and plan to make that available when it is finished being transcribed. Really!!

Here is my FIXX info archive.

Connect to Jeff Dinkins' OFFICIAL FIXX WEBSITE for more info on the band, the mailing list, lyrics, etc. etc.; and also Mike Byrne's UNOFFICIAL FIXX WEBSITE.
