Thanks in advance.
The Li and Vitanyi book is actually intended to be a graduate-level text in theoretical computer science (or so it says on the cover) and is formatted like a math textbook. It assumes little and pretty much starts from the beginning of the field; you should have no problems accessing the content. It is a well-written book, which is a good thing since it is sort of THE text for the field with few other choices.
