Most longtime Jamiroquai fans agree with you.They seem to prefer the first two albums.But I'm just the opposite.I became a fan in 1999,when 'Synchronized' was released.So I tend to prefer the "disco/funk" Jamiroquai sound,but then again,I'm a huge disco fan anyway My favorite album is 'A Funk Odyssey'.

I'd use his CD as a coaster,or a mini-Frisbee

DavidEye said:

I thought you were slow on that one!

Onenitealone...what's your favorite Jamiroquai album?

DavidEye - you've got me there. I only own one - 'Travelling Without Moving' but I really need to get 'Funk Odyssey'.

They're one of those bands whose singles I absolutely LOVE but never get round to listening to. I always wish they'd hurry up and release a Best Of! That'll be amazing.

That said, I love that new track so we'll see... I may get the new album.

'A Funk Odyssey' is my favorite,that album is flawless!

'Synchronized' is a close second.Songs like "Planet Home" and "Where Do We Go From Here" is the type of aggressive funk that you don't hear too much these days.


Vainandy would LOVE this band,if he were to hear their albums.

DavidEye said:

You're probably right. Maybe you should do some recommendations. Vain!

I'm going to have to check this link out this evening when I get home from work (the computers at work won't open certain sites).

OK, I think I remember Jamiroquai after reading this. Wasn't he out in the early to mid 1990s and had a few hit? Was he a white guy that wore a big hat that kinda resembled The Cat In The Hat? I remember his music being kinda smooth and jazzy type funk that I could take or leave. If he's changed his style and gotten into more uptempo disco type funk, I'll definately be checking him out.

Vain - I'll let DavidEye convince you as he's the main fan round here but - seriously - I'm sure you'd love their more recent stuff. Very funky. He seems to weave all the best elements of disco and funk.

And, yeah - he still likes his hats. Like the Dr Seuss of funk.

onenitealone said:

If they do release a "Best Of", it would have to span multiple CDs. I'd personally want to include virtually every track from Jamiroquai's first two albums, which I think are absolutely brilliant (Emergency on Planet Earth and Return of the Space Cowboy).

However, I'm optimistic about Jamiroquai's new release. "Seven Days in Sunny June" is the best track I've heard from them in YEARS -- in fact, I'm buying the new project on the strength of that song alone.

TRUE

Vainandy would love the last two albums: 'Synchronized' and 'A Funk Odyssey'.He likes fast,uptempo funk and disco and Jamiroquai delivers.

so can any1 please tell me what the new album is like???

having all the albums and the live dvd i have to say travelling or synkronised are my total faves but i wanst and am still not a huge fan of the last album a funk oddessey ,,

please tell me its better than that ??

or has he completely immersed himself in the electronic dance /house dance/house style of funk ???

BigBootyLover said:

I've only heard three songs from the new album...

"Electric Mistress"---a fast,electro/funk track with a disco feel to it.Extremely funky bassline!

"Feels Just Like It Should"---the first single.A rock/funk number.

"Seven Days In Sunny June"---a GREAT track!! Classic Jamiroquai.A nice,midtempo jam that just mesmerizes.


So,based on those three tracks,I'd say the album is gonna be pretty good

I'm at home now and this raggedy computer still will not play it. After seeing how other people who were fans of his earlier music (which I could take or leave) were pissed when he changed his style to a more uptempo disco style, I don't doubt your word. Reminds me of how pissed I was when Prince changed his style in 1985.

I'll be checking out one of these albums this weekend. Which one of these two is better?

vainandy said:

'A Funk Odyssey'

Thanks.

DavidEye said:

I agree. I dig the Funk Odyssey album more b/c its funky.

Never liked him. But then I dont like 70's stevie wonder either

thesexofit said:

I dig Steve b/c he's Old School. But as for Jay's new stuff, I'm not feeling it at all.

Hotlegs said:

You don't even like "Seven Days In Sunny June"?

If Sony were smart,they would rush-release that song as the second single.It's almost June,and that's a perfect song to take us into the summer.Every fan that I've talked to seems to agree that it is one of their strongest songs.

Anyone know when the Japanese version i released?
I've heard May 15?

novamonkey said:

Do you know of a site that sells Japanese import CDs? There will be two bonus tracks,so I definitely need to get the Japanese version.

DavidEye said:

No, not yet. Will let you know when I do though.

novamonkey said:

thanks
