Funk Odyssey, A - Jamiroquai

Advantages: A great album.
Disadvantages: none

...and all fave that 70's funk Flavour. I dont mind that but once you have heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times. With this album, its different. His music seems to have matured in such a way that his songs are more diverse in tastes and they will appeal to a much wider audience. no more sole floor stomping disco tunes.... Now there is something for everyone. Lets look at the complete package. Cover. ------ Quite dark with its black ...
...start followed by an electro funk sound. Typical Old Jamiroquai you may think. Much more space age with strange sound effects. A great Album track that will no doubt be released. A Very happy tune. Track 2) Little L. The first track of the Album to be release as a single. Out now, it is written about his long time girlfriend whom he has just split from, Denise Van outen. Another fllor filler with a true 70's sound. Track 3) You give me something. ... Read review

Advantages: Consistant with previous albums, great sound
Disadvantages: One more track at least

Jamiroquai are a very successful band but exactly how they became this successful is said in this album and the four that came before it. Yes a fifth album, somewhat of a milestone for many bands, so why did JK decide on another album, well this opinion will tell all. ~ History ~ Jamiroquai released their first album in 1993. Called ‘Emergency On Planet Earth’ it goes down a storm for me personally and shows many of the characteristics ...
...‘The Return Of The Space Cowboy’ another hit album (although I don’t own this one) in a similar style to the first. The third album ‘Travelling Without Moving’ is arguably the best album to date but it depends on the way in which you look at the facts as to which of the five is the best, its that close. The fourth album ‘Synkronized’ released in 1999 was also very good and was helped on its way by having ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

This is my first album review and I thought I would vary people’s normal style of reviewing an album and just write this on the first listen to it. Feel so Good ************ This song got right into my stomach. It is slightly different of Jamiroquai’s style although incorporates a slightly more electronic feel than usual. The most noticeable point is an electronic vibe that really grates (but not in a bad way) on your bones. A nice ...
...not sure it would ever become a single. Little L ******** A funky sleek number, Jamiroquai’s latest single. Personally I love this song. It just makes me want to dance !!! This song makes me want to shimmy all over the place in spangley dresses. The tune is very smooth and is quite typical of Jamiroquai’s style. You Give Me Something ********************* Hmm, first thought that this track conjures up is hop skippety jumping through ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic album, great tracks to name just 2
Disadvantages: err....

I am a bit of a Jamiroquai fan so I apologise if you notice any biased comments during in this review, but this is a fantastic album. This is Jamiroquai's 5th album and so when I bought I expected it to be pretty good..........but I didnt expect it to be this good. The cover of the album quite psychadelic and a bit weird with its black background and blasts of light coming out of Jay K (lead singer) who's jumping in the air. I guess this is appropriate ...
...of the cover so I dont think that matters too much. Now to the album itself. I'm not going to describe every track to you in explicit detail because its quite hard to describe most of these tracks, however the one thing I will say which accounts for all tracks here is that before you listen to this you've got to forget what you already think about Jamiroquai and try to pretend this is a new artist you've not heard before. I think you'll enjoy the ... Read review

Advantages: pure funk.
Disadvantages: erm... ... I couldn't get the inlay out of the case. I think that's more my problem though.

Jamiroquai's 'A Funk Odyssey' - it does exactly what it says on the tin. 1. Feel So Good - Although it opens with an ominous windy sound, this track is exactly what we've come to expect from Jamiroquai; pure funk and acid jazz, only this time with no deep-rooted meaning. A no-brainer foot stomper this is, with a big bassline and a little funky guitar riff which (I think) is the sample referred to in the booklet. A definite contender for the next ...
...reggae sound blended into the funk here, with serious skill. It's rare that a band of this style can convey proper emotions in a song, but Jamiroquai always seem to manage it and this track is no exception. A love song for the new funk generation. Funk-o-meter: **** 4. Corner Of The Earth - The first slow song of the album and one about being 'as one' with nature. After a strange Arabian-sounding intro. an acoustic guitar provides the main tune ... Read review
