5.0 out of 5 stars If you have someone special in your life. This album is IT! , April 26, 2006

There are few words that can truly be used to boil down a review for "Deamland". Where do you want to start. From Roddys enigmatically elusive vocals to the ultra emotional and systematic vibe ride of music that comences from the start to finish. Just listen to it with your special someone on the most intimate, relaxing, romantic and special day you can both share. It will truly inspire. Roddy Frame is categorically a sublime Genuis. "Thank you, Roddy". Well that's it. That's my 2 cents. Enjoy & Love!

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant piece of work., January 9, 2005

I have been a fan of Aztec Camera/Roddy Frame since the first day I read the Rolling Stone review of this Lp(this was back in the dark ages before CD)and rushed out to get it.One of my concert highlights was seeing the original Aztec Camera in concert with the Clash back more years than I want to try to remember.
High Land,Hard Rain would be a great start to anyones career,in fact the only CD I have by Aztec Camera/Roody Frame which is less than 4 stars would be Love which I'd give 3 and a half to because of Somewhere in my heart and Deep & Wide & Tall both Huge great wonderful songwriting.I did like the single version of Deep & Wide & Tall better than the LP version though.
Having said all of that I am writing this because of reading reviews of High Land,Hard Rain where reviewer after reviewer stated that Roddy Frame would not hit these highs again.
I disagree to me his best efforts are Dreamland and his first solo CD which I am sure to review soon as I cannot get The North Star out of my Cd player much like Dreamland.
This is one of the few CD's I have and I have well over a thousand of them that when I hear the start of every song I get excited and think Oh I've been wanting to hear that and that is after even twenty listens.This is A Cd that I have purchased as gifts for family and friends who had no idea who Aztec Camera or Roddy Frame is.
This is a CD that I list as one of my desert Island picks I would want if I were ever stranded,along with my wife or Tyra Banks if my wife was not stranded with me.
It is a shame that I can only give this CD five stars because I think that it is one of the greats.
