Album Notes
Personnel includes: Roddy Frame (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Gary Sanctuary, Paul Powell, Rosie Ania, Victor Bailey, Steve Bernstein, Barry Finclair, Romero Lubambo, Silvia Mason James, David Palmer, Vivian Saunders, Steve Sidelnyk, Gary Tibbs.Engineers: David Anderson, Patrick Dillett, Paul Gomersall, Lolly Grodner.All songs written by Roddy Frame.Whoever got the idea of putting erstwhile lo-tech pop hero Roddy Frame in the studio with the legendarily hi-tech keyboardist/composer/producer Ryuichi Sakamoto ought to at least get credit for thinking outside the box. And if the experiment wasn't an unqualified success, well, that's what usually happens when you think outside the box. Dreamland is far from a failure; by this point in his career, Frame's pop craft is too instinctive to permit that. But Sakamoto does occasionally threaten to overwhelm the songs with his patented super-smooth production and studio fripperies (those strings! those backing vocals!), and in a few cases the songs themselves aren't structurally capable of supporting all that added weight. Several tracks, in particular the rather silly "Spanish Horses," will leave you thinking "Gosh, that was pretty. How did it go again?" And "Safe in Sorrow," a gorgeous pop/soul ballad, feels like it wants to go twice as fast as it does, but can't. All that said, there are some great moments here, including the aching "Let Your Love Decide" and the slightly creepy "Valium Summer"; fans of the Camera should like this album just fine. ~ Rick Anderson
