JAMIE LIDELL Compass (2010 UK 14-track vinyl LP - Vocal acrobat Jamie Lidell returns with 'Compass', a fourteen track voyage through sound featuring the haunting teaser track 'Compass' and the gutter-fuzz of first single 'The Ring' – checking off spectral, ethereal atmospherics ['You See My Light'], furious howling-funk ['Coma Chameleon'] and beat-box-infused soul ['Completely Exposed'] on the way. He's teamed up with an all-star cast – at the helm are Beck and Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor on production duties. They also play on the record, alongside Dan Rossen and Chris Bear [Grizzly Bear], Feist, Wilco's Brian Lebarton, Nikka Costa, Gonzales and legendary drummer James Gadson [who has recorded with BB King, Herbie Hancock and Martha Reeves, amongst others])
