Love
(1987), found Roddy teamed with Michael Jonzun and The Jonzun
crew. On Dreamland (1993), the seminal Japanese composer Ryuichi
Sakamoto was part of the creative team. To his surprise, Roddy
learned that while Sakamoto and his girlfriend were at college,
Aztec Camera's debut album 'High Land Hard Rain' (1983) had been
one of their favourite records. In 1995, he released Frestonia,
the last of the five Aztec Camera albums he was contracted to
deliver for Warner Brothers.
Freed
from the write/record/tour cycle for the first time since he was
a teenager, he went on holiday and did some thinking. Roddy released
his first solo album entitled 'The North Star' in September 1998.
Singles from the album included 'Reason For Living' , 'Back To
The One' and 'Sister Shadow'.
In
2001 Roddy contributed to the critically acclaimed debut album
by the band/project Playgroup, and put the finishing touches to
his latest album 'Surf'.
'Surf',
released by Redemption Records / Cooking Vinyl, is an entirely
acoustic album and yet again displays Roddy's wonderful songwriting
ability. Returning to the stage with just his guitar, Roddy sold
out a 4 date, month's residence at London's Borderline. For more
