Artist:	LIDELL, JAMIE
Title:	Muddlin Gear
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.50
Catalog #:	WARP 075CD

"The solo debut album from one half of Super Collier, a split release between Warp and Spymania. Liddell's been very busy over the last few years, recording for Mosquito, Trash, Mille Plateaux, Loaded, etc... This record features his more experimental minded effort (close to the Trash stuff). Pretty insane all over, the sort of rampant electronic underworld action that eases no spirit, instead, full of rage, squirms through the vertebrae infecting the spine with little voltage ticks and oxygen bubbles, causing pre-death rigor mortis symptoms. Quite lovely in parts (esp. the Miles 69-73 emulative pieces), dastardly in others (much noise & grit). Not too many vocal tracks either (could see the inclusion of many such an issue, despite his vocal brilliance). Sort of needs to be heard to be believed. Believe it." --- Hrvatski.

Catalog #:	WARP 131CD

"Jamie Lidell, soul vocalist extraordinaire, is finally set to release his first solo recordings in five years! Erstwhile co-pilot in the digi-funk colossus Super_Collider (alongside Cristian Vogel), Jamie Lidell has spent the intervening period since 2001 conquering, nay, vanquishing, the stage with a blazing solo live show, (costume and live VJ enhanced), pitched somewhere between 'a 21st century reincarnation of Little Richard' with 'a soul voice fried in honey like Sly Stone or Prince, and a beatboxing talent to make Muhammad Ali quake in his Everlast,' delivering time and again 'a thrilling, visceral performance,' 'pure, visceral power: a scintillating display of demented musical and physical energy,' both 'exhilarating' and 'astounding,' A British soul vocalist beyond your wildest imagination, , Jamie Lidell has crafted a twisted R&B album with all the hallmarks of a vintage classic. Multiply is a refreshingly modern update that retains all the power, pop and emotion of singers like Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green and even peak period Michael Jackson, immersed in the energy and virtuosity of production masterminds like Quincy Jones or Herbie Hancock, done in inimitable Jamie Lidell style. Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentleman -- a new vocal star is about to take flight."

"The musical sensation of 2005, Jamie Lidell wowed the masses when the infectious avant-pop of his digi-soul masterpiece Multiply hit record shops and then again when hit the road with his explosive one-man rave jams. He's granted some of his big name homeboys free reign over Multiply's biggest tunes. Cosmic funkers Freeform Five have a go at 'When I Come Back Around,' leftfield legends Herbert and Luke Vibert each rework 'A Little Bit More' while Four Tet tackles the freak soul of 'The City.' Other remixers include Feist and Peaches collaborator Gonzales and Lidell's longtime partner in crime Mocky." 10-track CD version.

Title:	Jim
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 160CD

"Recorded in Berlin, Los Angeles and Paris, Jim takes even further what was started with Multiply, finding the balance between the spontaneous creativity of his raw ideas and the careful craft and polish of a great record. Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dancefloor and take you down in the small hours. It's a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R&B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of 'hillbilly funk.' 'I haven't tried to hide the influences,' says Jamie Lidell. 'This is the music I love.' But listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and a style that is entirely his own."

Title:	Compass
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 192CD

"Jamie Lidell is a genuinely restless soul. He broke out of small-town England and has been a nomad ever since. His constant desire to progress, leaping and stumbling towards new discoveries, has defined his musical journey so far; and there's no sign of it fading away. Recorded in Los Angeles, New York and Canada, Compass is his most eclectic album yet. Songs shift, chop, change and mutate genres and forms before our very ears. It's got funk in spades; the jaw-dropping power of the vocals is stronger than ever; it rocks, it pops, it's sweet, angry, hard, soulful and soft, often within the span of a single track. It's the restless album that finally matches the soul of its creator. Jamie's fellow travelers on Compass include Beck, Feist, Gonzales, Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and Pat Sansone of Wilco. Musically and lyrically this is very much A Jamie Lidell Production reflecting not only his exhilarating, diverse tastes, but also a year of change, love, longing and arrival at a new place. For both newcomers and initiates, this will be an experience. And no, he won't stop."
