Scottish band formed by Roddy Frame, active primarily in the 1980s and early 1990s; known for the albums High Land, Hard Rain, Love and Dreamland.

Roddy Frame is the group's principal songwriter. High Land, Hard Rain (1983) is widely praised; Dreamland (1993) involved Ryuichi Sakamoto in production. Love's production involved Tommy LiPuma and Russ Titlman as noted in contemporary reviews.

DeBaser hosts a small set of affectionate, sometimes ironic reviews of Aztec Camera. High Land, Hard Rain is praised as a minor masterpiece; Love and Dreamland receive warm, mixed appraisals. Reviews highlight Roddy Frame's songwriting and notable production collaborators.

For:Fans of 1980s indie/jangle pop, melodic singer-songwriters, and Roddy Frame aficionados.

 "Dreamland" is not an essential album. It's listenable, even re-listenable.

 Ultimately, an authentic masterpiece that stands out on its own, beyond the subsequent production of the "group": if we consider the competitive environment "High Land, Hard Rain" faced upon its release (the fabulous debuts of Style Council, Everything But The Girl, and Talk Talk, not to mention The Smiths), one can understand how the musical genius of this former enfant prodige cannot continue to be "underestimated" for anything in the world, in the name of the cliché mockery related to '80s pop music.
