Negative Positive
Title: Not Typical Warp, but great nontheless.
Review: Jamie Lidell, in my opinion, should be considered more of a priority these days on Warp. While many thought "Muddlin' Gear" was confusing, I found it to be exactly what the label needed. This is one of the label's more adventurous releases, alongside Vincent Gallo's "When" , and the recent Russell Haswell/Merzbow collaboration. Jamie Lidell shines not only vocally, but in his production skills as well, taking the hear and soul of jazz and screwing it up digitally. "The Cop-It Suite" is the album's opus, a soundtrack to a rainy day in any ol town, with beautiful violins roliin in, and Lidell's voice rounding it out. This album and it's heavy Jazz theme is taken to the fullest extent. Keeping with the very sporadic, free-flowing nature of Jazz, this album does the same thing, only with the modern IDM edge. It's smart, sexy, and funny at the same time. I'm just looking forward to the next output from Jamie, it should be pimp.
