At different times in their career the Scottish pop group Aztec Camera were indie darlings, high-charting pop stars, and skilled crafters of sophisticated modern sounds.
Guided by Roddy Frame's deft guitar playing, nifty way with a melody, and a warm and inviting vocals style, the band debuted with a legendary single, 1981's "Just Like Gold" and instant classic album, 1983's High Land, Hard Rain, before launching an idiosyncratic career that saw them working with top-notch session players, dueting with Mick Jones on a hit single (1990's "Good Morning Britain"), and finishing their short run with a pretty album (1995's Frestonia) that sounded like the filpside of Brit Pop's brashness.
