Editorial Reviews

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 Compassinclude 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. When he takes to the road in 2010, he'll be bringing a band again, but stripping it back; keeping it lean. For both newcomers and initiates, this will be an experience. And no, he won't stop.

Great. And not just because of Conpass

March 3, 2018

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Great album. Bought it for Compass as many did who found out the Red Dead Redemption ost is hard to come by. If you're the type of person to buy an album for one song, you'll probably be satisfied with this album for more than just Compass.

The only compass that I need

May 24, 2010

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

If you were trying to compare someone to Jamie Lidell, you may have had a chance until he released this album. Multiply taught us that one track of an album can sound like it came from a different decade than all the rest. Jim taught us that maybe funk and soul aren't so different, and now this album takes us to an entirely different part of Jamie's psyche.

The beats are earth shattering, the hooks are contagious, and the vocals are of another planet. Parts of this sound like Jamie recorded them in his basement and parts sound like production from the latest hip-hop studio in LA. Of course it sounds that way, Beck produced it and everyone knows he can't stay in one genre for a whole album. James Gadson plays drums on a lot of it, and the motown feel is unmistakable. Feist and Chris Taylor offer backing vocals, which hopefully gets some of those indi-hipsters listening to this.

From the toe-tapping, Jackson 5-esque Enough is Enough, to the 808 break on completely exposed, this album keeps you grooving. By the time you get to the ballads like Compass and You See My Light, you will know that this man can sing, write and perform with the versatility of a young Stevie or Michael, and can sing circles around a Justin Timberlake or the other young wannabes cropping up in today's market.

The gritty undertones, distorted vocal sounds, beatboxing and textures on which I can't even put my finger cut right through to the true heart of this album; Singing your heart out about loving and love lost. I'd like to see this album become the sound of the 2010s, so all you indi-hipsters, pay for it rather than waiting for a torrent. We need to fund this man so he can continue on this journey of soul.

The Compass Is Heading South

August 12, 2010

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Before I tell you about my opinion why I think the "compass" is heading south let me first talk about Jamie Lidell. I became familiar with Mr.Lidell with the "Jim" album, and became an instant fan of this artist. Now Jamie Lidell has an honest expression that is easy to read in the midst of all his electronics. He is a good singer, and has a funky nature about him that is infectious. He is a unique artist, and I think we need more artists like him that have the balls to bring in fresh creation. The thing with Lidell is that he is likes a lot of different music, although that being a strength can also bring in a curse. This album shows that problem in my opinion. Compass shows a restless body of work that misses the mark. The production is chaotic in nature, and lacks focus. I know that Beck had a hand in production, and I am not sure if it helped Lidell. The songs are enjoyable only because it's apparent of it's influences. Like the song "I Wanna Be Your Telephone" sounds like Prince's "Lady Cab Driver" inspired drum breaks, a bit of "Erotic City" in other words Minneapolis Funk. Some songs you can hear the Stevie Wonder influences, but what it comes down to is because I am familiar with it's source I can get in to it. Other than that the production is all over the place for a listener to grab something of a direction. The problem is that this album is produced to musicians and not to the average person. Lidell's voice is over produced in this album. There are so many effects to the point that it is no longer enjoyable. This is a strong point, because Jamie Lidell's voice is his selling point. Not his electronics. He sounds like Chris Cornell in "You See My Light" to like an angry black preacher in "Coma Chameleon". Then one minute he can turn on his soul stride that is wonderful. In the end you get Jamie Lidell. He has his own voice. When you see him live you get a perspective that this man truly is a singer, and that his artistry with electronics makes him stand out with his God given talent. Unfortunately, an artist such as this needs a team that brings more of a formulated production for the masses to understand him. Compass has good songs, but it's ruined with too much effects, and the arrangement is too sporadic. The songs are hard to establish mentally, cause the notes are lost by musicians that sometimes sound like they are out of the pocket. It just feels it needs more purpose. It comes out artistically sounding too pretentious. When you have a voice like Lidell it needs to be shown with clarity, and well thought out arrangements. Compass does not hide the personality of Jim. His personality is spontaneous and live, but I believe a good producer in the future will bring this balance to him without the feeling of compromise. This album should have followed the "Jim" into higher grounds. When you make an album like "Jim", you can't follow with something this raw and organic. That is going backwards or south.

Upbeat hand-clappin' soul the whole family can agree on

I spin this wax and start bouncing off the walls. My 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son get in the groove something fierce, and we all start spinning around like the proverbial dervish on a whirl. And it sounds fantastic on vinyl! The production really shines.
