There is a real sense of musical schizophrenia happening on Compass, Jamie Lidell's wildly idiosyncratic new record. Lidell has proven to be quite adept at fluidly transforming his sound from the edgy electronica of his DJ days to the smoothed out neo-soul of his recent records, but this effort is a radical sonic curveball, even by his continually progressive standards. There are echoes from every corner of the record store on Compass , translating to songs that will easily resonate with music fans of all stripes, while [...]
After numerous opinions about the new layout I tried a few weeks ago, it seems the general consensus in regards to it is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." After observing it for a couple of days, I sort of agree with it, but changing it was sort of a way to cut down on how much time it takes for me to post it. At times it could take upwards of two hours to get everything together, and some weeks I just don't feel up to doing it. Anyways, that's the end of that, so [...]
Jamie Lidell is a complete musical anomaly to me. Starting out in the underground techno group Super Collider, he seemed like just another fairly talented DJ and beat maker. Then he went solo and released the mindscrew Muddlin Gear . Then the renaissance happened. Lidell decided he had a little soul and funk in his thin, white, British frame, and that's when Multiply came along. The 2005 album blew up everywhere; people once again believed in soul and funk, and Lidell's voice emerged. And hot damn, what a voice it was. He followed it up with [...]

Some more bands were added to the Oxegen lineup today. There's something for everyone as a whole host of genres are covered. The highlights for me have to be Biffy Clyro (their album Only Revolutions was one of my favourites of 2009), Jamie Lidell (whose latest Compass is not as good as Multiply or Jim , but is still a decent album), and Delphic (who were listed in this year's BBC Sound of 2010 Poll) Just added: Chipmunk Biffy Clyro Plan B Tinie Tempah Dirty Projectors Delphic Gabriella Cilmi Wild Beasts [...]
![[Listen] – #MusicMonday – 20 Songs Of The Week – May 24th](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2574355_lg.jpg)
If you're unaware of what Music Monday is, it's a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too. Using the hashtag (#) followed by "MusicMonday" you can easily find new music posted by the thousands of people making recommendations each week. Every #MusicMonday I upload a playlist of 20 songs that I've been listening to (new and old) over the [...]
Ugh. It's been a helluva week. I just haven't been able to keep up on all the emails this week, and barely had time to listen to the tracks I did like. Beginning of summer always seems to be a very busy time. My Saturday is so busy, I've had to make an hour-by-hour schedule! Damn, and the weather forecase has been ugraded to pool-ready for Saturday too. The sun better stick around for Sunday... Tracklisting: Jamie Lidell - Enough [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Video , Exclusive When British soul-rocker Jamie Lidell popped by Spinner's New York studio to record his recent Interface, the chap was in a great mood. He had every reason to be, as this was his third time taping one of these sessions. "It's a record, and we like to celebrate," Lidell said. "I might have a little bit of confetti that will pop out of my ear or nose, so don't be disturbed if I cough anything up." While [...]

Jamie Lidell possesses that confident, funky swagger and musical ingenuity that straddles genres and backgrounds. I find this white kid from Cambridgeshire, England so proficient in unleashing new blends of sounds that every new effort from him is a pleasure to dive into. Even in the back of a black cab , riding around somewhere in London, armed only with a few sampling tools and his totally un-self-conscious musical presence, he creates something marvelous. Antiquiet perfectly captured it when they wrote : " It made us think of some of Michael Jackson's early [...]

Who : Band of Horses Title : Infinite Arms Label : Columbia Records Thoughts : Would it be cruel to call Band of Horses the Stone Temple Pilots of indie rock? We don't think so. Like STP did more than a decade ago, Band of Horses ride in on the coattails of a burgeoning musical movement. They do so with the right mix of that aesthetic, mixed [...]
![New Music Tuesday [May 18th, 2010] – Brothers, This Is Happening](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2556690_lg.jpg)
Another week, another batch of solid as hell releases in the music world as James Murphy returns to the spotlight with the killer album This Is Happening and The Black Keys drop another one on us with their Brothers . We also have a new one from Band of Horses called Infinite Arms and a classic reissue as The Rolling Stones drop the reissue of the classic and badass album Exile On Main Street . In [...]
Like some muddy, rough demo from Sign 'O' The Times -era Prince, Jamie Lidell dials up all the the right elements for this thick, funk and synth number I Wanna Be Your Telephone . Weird, obtuse, electric guitar tones, some female responder answering from a million miles away, and skittering, loose percussion provide a bed for Jamie's sublime technological breakdown, imploring a lover to be with him even though he knows he will be replaced by a newer model in short time. My only complaint is that like [...]
It seems our mild indifference towards Foals second album didn't put people off buying it; entering at number 8, it's the band's second top ten album in a row. However, their debut peaked at no. 3, so that's five chart placings they've lost in the interim and at the end of the day, five chart placings are five chart placings. Or something. Holy Fuck did diddily squat, whilst the fresh-faced Mini Viva may soon be stacking shelves in the Minute Mart (or not, seeing as it's fictional) as their third single misses the Top [...]
Pelos Lidell Jamie Lidell , el ex Super Collider, el majo y talentoso hombre que decidió apartarse un poquito de la electrónica para darse al soul y músicas supuestamente más emotivas, vuelve con un nuevo álbum bajo el brazo. Jim fue todo un portento de energía y emoción a partes iguales, y esta vez, "Compass" (Warp, 2010, en digital a la venta desde hoy) deja claro que la voz de este hombre invita a canturrear ya sea saliendo a por pan, yendo a trabajar, un día de sol, de lluvia o siendo [...]
Jamie Lidell n'a pas arrêté de migrer. C'est un squale romantiquement « soulful », soniquement obsédé, prêt a tout pour le «funk ». Et il ne va pas s'arrêter. Non, il ne s'arrête pas. Ne le lui demandez jamais. Laissez-le passer, appréciez le spectacle et sa bande originale. Amoureux de la funk et des vrais instruments qui sonnent, procurez vous le nouvel album " COMPASS " de JAMIE LIDELL • sorti digital le 17 mai et sorti physique le 25 mai. Pour les impatients l'opus est en [...]
