| Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart |
 |
Music video for the single 'Somewhere In My
Heart' by Aztec Camera. The single reached #3
in the UK charts when it was released in
1988.
I thought I'd upload this as its of better
quality than the other video posted.
The band's line-up changed numerous times in
its first few years. The constant member has
been guitarist / vocalist / singer-songwriter
Roddy Frame. Founding members included
Campbell Owens (bass) and Dave Mulholland
(drums). Craig Gannon was a member from 1983
to 1984. Guitarist Malcolm Ross (formerly of
Josef K and Orange Juice) joined in 1984, and
appeared on the Knife album.
Although generally considered to be born out
of the post-punk movement, Aztec Camera's
music is mostly acoustic oriented and might
be better described as indie guitar music.
The band's first UK 7" single was released by
Glasgow-based indie label Postcard Records in
March 1981, and contained the songs "Just
Like Gold" and "We Could Send Letters". An
acoustic version of the latter song appeared
on the influential C81 compilation cassette,
released by NME in early 1981. A second
single, "Mattress Of Wire", was also the last
Postcard Records release before the group
signed for fellow independent record label,
Rough Trade. US releases were on Sire
Records.
Aztec Camera's debut album, High Land, Hard
Rain, was released in April 1983. The album
was successful, gathering significant
critical acclaim for its well-crafted,
multi-layered pop. The band went on to
release a total of six albums, although most
of these were essentially written and played
by Frame. The albums included Knife (1984),
Love (1987), Stray (1990), Dreamland (1993)
and Frestonia (1995).
After the release of Aztec Camera's sixth
album, Frestonia, Frame finally decided to
record under his own name, and left the major
record label, WEA.
Popular songs by Aztec Camera include
"Oblivious", "Still On Fire", "Walk Out to
Winter", "Somewhere in My Heart", and "Good
Morning Britain" (a duet with former The
Clash guitarist Mick Jones).
A 'Best of' collection was released in 1999.
