This is a solid effort from Jamie.Very good fusion of different styles: funk and soul.Lyrically strong as well, Compass is a good example of this.The only let down for me is 'Big Drift' which doesn't seem to go anywhere.Other than that, fantastic.

Thats about it, give the album time and then love it. Stand out tracks are 'She Needs Me', 'You are Waking' and 'Compass' but all the others have their own ticks. Think Mr Bungle with a bit more 'soul'? I dunno, but I love the album and think it should be one you all have in the bag.

Multiply and Jim are five stars, fall on the floor amazing. This is largely because Jamie Lidell has an outstanding voice. Those of you who have only heard compass will not know what I mean by this because on this record, his voice is hidden behind a swamp of egotistical production. The basic philosophy seems to have been to sacrifice rhythm, melody, songwriting etc for hi tech trickery post-production. The lack of coherence is annoying, and trying to dissemble all the noises, stops and starts just ruins any kind of vibe. I've been waiting for his latest release for a while now and looking down the cast of characters before listening to it I spotted names like Feist, Nikka Costa, Gonzales. All of these talents, like Jamie, have been wasted on this record. I might also add that a couple of the other reviewers said they liked the soul and funk on this record. I'm not sure if they understand those genres but I would have said it's way more in the left field/avantgarde/electro area.

The man who would be Prince and fails.
It's all very jolly in a "heard it all before" kind of way. Anyone familiar with the infinitely superior works of Prince will recognise riffs, grooves etc from the Sign O the Times... Read more

Another excellent addition to the Jamie Lidell Collection
On first listen I was only mildly impressed with this, but that soon changed after a couple more playings. It's similar to 'Jim' and 'Multiply' in a lot of ways i.e. Read more
