- Soul brothers
Hunter and Lidell's music shares something deeper than demographics: an abiding interest in the classic Southern R&B of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. Both men prove that blue-eyed soul didn’t die with Hall & Oates.
- Ready to wear
It’s difficult to keep up when Jamie Lidell is talking.
- Born Ruffians | Say It
Over the past half of Warp’s robust 20-year run, the label’s enduring legacy as a vanguard force in electronic music has drifted as its tastes have gone positively eclectic. The mixed-media future folk of Bibio, the experimental soul of Jamie Lidell, the polished post-punk nuts of Maximo Park.
- James Lidell | Compass
Hey, I love Veckatimest as much as the next wimp, but the prospect of Grizzly Bear multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor’s offering production to the latest album from Jamie Lidell didn’t seem promising when it was announced earlier this year. After all, Lidell has spent the past half-decade effecting an unlikely transition from introspective IDM nerd to extroverted R&B dude.
- Tanya Tagaq
Though rough and inarticulate, the visceral, glottal sounds that Tagaq generates impart meaning and emotion.
- Zu | Carboniferous
Zu — an instrumental outfit formed in Rome in 1999 — were destined to be on Mike Patton's Ipecac label.
- Les Claypool
The new Les Claypool album is seriously cracked out. Les Claypool, "One Better" (mp3)
- House party
U’d rere Skye is the Morcheeba chick, who could have been a pretty hip/cool high school chorus instructor ($25/hour) if she hadn't right-place, right-timed herself as trip-hop's last girl scout.
- Super freaks
Les Claypool, the 43-year-old bass-playing architect of Primus, is the kind of guy who went through a weird-teenager phase and then just never moved on.

- Shapeshifting
It’s a delicious surprise to find that Jose can get beyond the bedroom sound of Veneer , and by “get beyond,” I mean this guy can swing with a reckless, nerdy abandon that does nothing to rob him of his Nick Drake comparisons. Slideshow: Zero 7 at Avalon, September 12, 2006
