Jamie Lidell - Jamie Lidell
Jamie Lidell is a tremendously talented individual and, as a live act, he and his band are a breath-taking spectacle. Maybe on his next record he’ll make a better job of capturing what makes him so unique rather than just homaging the greats and, at least some of the time, keep his tongue out of his cheek.

Hmmm...
I'd say Lidell's relationship with Warp was based less on his current sound and direction and more to do with being one half of Super_Collider with Cristian Vogel, who Warp signed back in 98 or so. His solo stuff started out considerably more electronic - Muddlin Gear is nigh completely alien next to Lidell's later work, and Multiply represents a wonderful middle-ground between knob twiddling and soul singing. Jim marks the true start of his neo-soul output.
