Is this Love?
Well yes it is actually.
Love is the 3rd album from 1987 on the Sire label from East Kilbride's finest Aztec Camera.
Well when I say Aztec Camera it is actually the boy wonder Roddy Frame with a group of session musicians. It includes a few songs with an R&B influence in an (unsuccessful) attempt to break the US market.It did however reach number 10 in the UK.
Now it may not be their best album - that would be High Land Hard Rain - but it does contain three of their best songs..
Killermount Street - have you ever heard a more achingly beautiful song about a bus station?
Aztec Camera - How Men Are
Aztec Camera - Somewhere in my Heart
Aztec Camera - Killermont Street
I always find people get a bit sniffy about this album, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteNo pun intended.
ReplyDeleteIt is an album made up of some very fine songs and some better than average ones mired in a mid 80s mid atlantic production
ReplyDeleteI really like How Men Are. Drew is right about the production on Love though, it is just a step to far for the really great songs included on the album.
ReplyDeleteTrack 2 is the same file as track 1?
ReplyDeleteI mean, 'How Men Are' is a fine song, but I'd prefer to hear 'Somewhere In My Heart'...
Sorry Paolo
DeleteI'll get it sorted later on today
Two fine songs as you say
Sorted
DeleteThanks.
