Emergency - 999

Advantages: Interplanetary know's
Disadvantages: Don't know???

...Sony Music Entertainment, 1993. Produced by??? Group is made of: Jay K. - Song Toby Smith. - Keyboard Stuart Zender - Bass McKenzie Derrick. - Battery Simon Katz. - Guitar Wallis - Didgeridoo I start immediately with a small recall, which (or what) is Jamiroquai. Then the beginning: Jamiroquai is not the guy with the caps more strange of planet (because him names as Jason Kay, known as Jay K for the close friends), but it's HIS group. It 's formed in 1992, and thus comes out its first album (yes this one) in 1993, shower praise on by criticism, but stamped Acid Jazz. This label, Jay K will try to test come off during an end of time. However, it is true that album sounds a little Acid jazz, but good Jay K said not, then I say Non, therefore. Emergency One planet Earth is not the best album in my opinion, but... Read review

...A very early offering from Jay Kay when he wore a silly hat. This album is seriously chilled – any more laid back and it would probably be horizontal.

...Let's jump back. Back to a long time ago. It's the 'Revolution 1993', when we were 'Too Young To Die'. Yes, for those who can't remember, I am talking about Jamiroquai's first album: Emergency on Planet Earth. Their funky, jazz funky style with a 90s twist got us all grooving along. From their really old, really jazzy stuff, to their new, pretty drab disco music, although still good, Emergency on Planet Earth seems a great album, very appropriate at the moment. Perfect student music, if I ever heard it. Complaining about our screwed governments (true!) and how things could be better. And just look at Jay K's techni-colour dreamcoat inside the CD cover of Emergency on Planet Earth, to get another idea of what this music is. Jamiroquai have been a really important part of my musical enjoyment. While really going away from their roots... Read review
