40 radio and won a Grammy with this platinum-selling album, Travelling Without Moving. It's a fine record, with warm keyboards, sweet strings, and irrepressible grooves grounding Jay Kay's sublime vocals and fuelling the hits "Virtual Insanity", "Cosmic Girl" and the title track. That voice--elastic, jazzy--is the fire of the band, but immaculate guitar sounds, snappy backup vocals and clever old-school soul samples (Eddie Harris on "Alright", Esther Phillips on "High Times") are the details that create perfection. Balancing the dance-ready, radio-friendly tracks are the ballads "Everyday" and "Spend a Lifetime", the reggae-styled "Drifting Along", and a couple of didjeridoo instrumentals.--Suzanne McElfresh

Advantages: Some cool songs Disadvantages: Some didjeridus
Jamiroquai may be remembered for Jay K's love of Denise and fast cars, and big houses with geese.

There are 2 pants tracks on the album - the didjerido ones - i think Jay had a friend in need and all he could do was play the didjeridoo. The rest of ... ..., and there are also some nice slow ones - You Are my love, Spend A Lifetime, etc..
There is also an interesting take on Reggae - Drifting Along.
It is good. It's very good. and you will enjoy it . Just maybe not as much as you thought you would have done. ...

How do I return this Review ofTravelling Without Moving - Jamiroquaiby
MarcusPerkins
Advantages: Disadvantages:
...title track Travelling without Moving. The main reason for this is the beginning if the song which is the sound of Jay’s Lamborghini Diablo being started and then accelerated at high speed. This was the only moment that my pulse reached anything higher than comatose whilst listening to the album. ...

Advantages: Some great tracks like 'Cosmic Girl' Disadvantages: Didjeridoo.
Jamiroquai's career is now approaching ten years, but have still to release an album that lives up to the expectations that moments of brilliance suggest Jay Kay is capable of. 'Travelling Without Moving' is another less than solid album from the artist, but again as with earlier and later attempts, it fails to hit the high notes on all occasions. 'Virtual Insanity', the lead single, is a good track, and contains good rhythm and instinctive vocals. ... ...of thing that if Jamiroquai could produce more often, they would be capable of anything. The album is by no means offensive, but Jay Kay's obsession with the didjeridoo can be annoying in tracks such as 'Didjerama'. You think he would have learnt by now that that instrument is not the way forward. 'You Are My Love' is a good song, and the hidden track is also worth investigating. There are certainly reasons for buying this album, but just don't expect ...

Advantages: Disadvantages:
Another great album from Jay Kay and the guys. I bought this album after it was recommended by a friend and I am glad they did. This includes such hits as 'Virtual Insanity' and 'Cosmic Girl', which both did well in the charts. There is a mixture of tracks on this album, some better than others, but they all follow the same style of funk. If you've heard his music and you liked the sound of it, this is probably the first album you should buy and ...

Long live the FUNK Review ofTravelling Without Moving - Jamiroquaiby
spikeysim
Advantages: A brilliant FUNKtastic load of songs that make you want to funk along Disadvantages: TO be honest I love it.
This is a great album, I picked up on jamiroquai a bit late but as soon as i heard this album at a mates house I knew I had to get it! If you like things a little funky then this is the album for you, as a bassisit I just love the way the bass carries some of the songs along, It's lush!The way that Jamiroquai just give you a taste of a song at the beginning and then build it up to an amazing climax of such a mixture of feelings and stlyes, with ballad, ...
