...the topic for today; Jamiroquai’s Emergency on Planet Earth.
Now as you know, I’m not really one for delving into the history of the band and finding out masses of facts, but I am one to occasionally point out some interesting things about the artists. One of the things that I discovered about Jamiroquai quite recently was something that shocked me considerably – that is, behind The Spice Girls and the chubby crooner Gary Barlow’s ...

- Emergency On Planet Earth "If anybody's listening - Emergency on planet Earth"
Probably my favourite track on the album, the title track returns to the theme of environmental worries. It has quite some pace to it, and is as catchy as you could hope for.

...listen to the tracks on Emergency On Planet Earth, 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. ...
