Jamie Lidell
Jamie Lidell is an Englishman now living in Berlin. He has previously been heard on recordings of his and Cristian Vogel's duo Super_Collider and on the Matthew Hebert Big Band album. His shows combine live sampling of his soul-influenced vocals through an array of electronics, a laptop, analogue synthesiser and mixing desk.
This set consists mainly of new works: the soul song What Is It This Time is a Jamie Lidell original; the final song New Me was originally performed with Matthew Herbert.
Jamie Lidell has released the album Muddlin' Gear (Warp Records WARP75) and the Super_Collider albums Head On (Loaded 001CD - http://www.loadedrecords.com/Loaded.htm) and Raw Digits (Rise Robots Rise RRR001 - http://www.no-future.com/)
