...the likes of Erik Skanko and Tomer Yosef.
1 - Borneo - a truly great track without faults. I know it really well but for some reason, I'm devoid of comparisons for it. The closest I could come up with is They Might be Giants. It's basically praising the beauty of Borneo and saying how he'd prefer to stay in the paradise that is Borneo whilst attacking the US government.
E.g.
I'm gonna set my sails for the virgin soil
(Hey, Borneo)
You know I don't wanna die for the price of oil
(Here I come, Borneo)
I wanna watch the sun set every night
(Hey, Borneo)
I'm gonna fall alseep in the cool moonlight
(Look out, Borneo)
10/10
Complete with twangy guitar, choruses of I-I-I-I-I and monkey sounds (towards the end).
2 - This is my life - another superb track, a really lively one with a bhangra style to it, it's the only song where the lyrics dwell...

Mirza (Here I Come Junglist) this album has got artists suck as jazzy b and sukshinder shinda. my favourite track was yaada because i enjoy laid bak traks. for me this is a good album but not great because i thought some traks were rubbish. however i would recomend to potential buyers if the prize is right. You mabe put of by the cover because it is quite dull but is professional. for me this album is in my top 30 as i listen to it every other day....

Advantages: New and Improve feal to Jamiroquai's funkin toons Disadvantages: Don't be silly!
...FIRSTLY: buy this album!!! it is very unique and has the greatest toons like Canned Heat and Supersonic! be warned though, that it isn't very typically Jamiroquai, compared to the last 3 (GREAT) albums. Jamiroquai frontman JK, has evolved from his cool funking toons, and crafted them into a more modern, but still Funkin' groove! You must also remember that the album was rished slightly, as Stuart Zender (former jamiroquai bassist - now married to one of the All Saints) left the band, and so Jamiroquai had to start from scratch! King For A Day is all about Stuart Zender, with very passionate and meaningful lyrics. JK does not try to follow any style or type; how many other bands can you compare to Jamiroquai? none!!!
on the whole, this album is well-worth buying. The cool little buffalo logo says it all really!...
