. With four albums out already, and a fifth to be released in September this year, the Cockney funksters definitely have got the formula right, and although in my opinion the band may have taken a turn for the worse – travelling down the disco/70’s retro funk road, emergency on PlanetEarth is still an all time classic.
The album is the debut LP from Jamiroquai, and was released what seems like a lifetime ago now, back in 1993. When the band were first around, they never seemed to be that popular, and indeed, it was only when I got into the acid jazz (or acid funk in Jay Kay’s case) scene did I discover Jamiroquai, and after buying a few choice singles, I decided to add the album to my collection. The great thing about this album is that, well, it’s just brilliant. J With Jay’s well thought out lyrics focussing ...
Advantages: Bangers throughout Disadvantages: Nothing specific
Jamiroquai?s debut release came out in 1993 with the album ?Emergency On PlanetEarth?. The album has the UK band, headed by Jay Kay on lead vocals come out with what is a very original thing as they perform a mix of Acid-Jazz and Funk in a time when it had seemingly phased out from the mainstream.
1. ?When You Gonna Learn?

**Five Stars**
2. ?Too Young To Die?
Of all the songs on the album, I expect this one to be the one you are most likely to be ...
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. The best known track is probably Too Young To Die, and this song gives you a feel for the entire album; it?s almost muzak ? put it on in a supermarket or department store and people wouldn?t really notice it, it would just be a pleasant addition. Having said that, if you actually listen to the tracks on Emergency On PlanetEarth, you?d find some of the most preachy songs about the environment that I?d ever heard ? all this from a man who worships his Ferraris. However, if you just listen to the music and not the words, you?ll have a nice time. The album?s didactic in the nicest possible way. ...
