Way back when this first came out in the Big 80s, I learned "The Bugle Sounds Again" for the little acoustic set my dumb band did during our sets, a smoke break for the rhythm section. (It's gorgeous and not the easiest guitar part ever; I can't imagine actually playing AND singing it).
My then-roommate called it "dorm room music" -- his take was that Scotland's Aztec Camera were for students, bedsit people, moody folks with lots of extra time on their hands.
I suspect Roddy Frame would have appreciated hearing his cerebral-yet-shiny indie-pop music described that way.
The man also did a killer (totally straight-faced) version of Van Halen's "Jump" that must be heard to be believed.
