'A Funk Odyssey' is without a doubt the best album Jamiroquai has made. Slow, smooth tunes fill your brain with delight while on the other side there are the disco-like, fast songs. A great blend of Jamiroquai's talents.

There are only 10 songs on the disc, but still that is enough to get you involved in 'Jay Kay's' music. The slower songs, like 'Corner of the Earth', 'Picture of my Life' and 'Black Crow' really show you how Jay's life is, while the faster songs, like 'Little L', 'Love Foolosophy' and 'Main Vein' really bring you back to the times when the Tavares and Barry White were the big shots. But with a twist, a thing like only Jamiroquai can do.

A couple songs, like 'Feels so Good' and 'Twenty Zero One' are a little weird, with computer-like voices, and it would been better if Jay had put more slower songs on the disc.

The length is good, not too long and not too short. 10 songs isn't much, but they all last for 4-5 minutes, so then it's OK.

Then, the CD will stay in your CD-player. Songs like 'Corner of the Earth' and 'Picture of my Life' will give you chills over and over, while songs like 'Love Foolosophy' are great when your glad about something.

I don't think there will be many people who REALLY like Jamiroquai, it's a kind of odd music, but it really has it's charm. The disc is not very new any more, so look around and see if you can get it cheap.
