Adding pop savvy to their soul-disco mix, Jamiroquai grabbed the attention of MTV and Top 40 radio and won a Grammy with this platinum-selling album, their third. It's a fine record, with warm keyboards, sweet strings, and irrepressible grooves grounding Jay Kay's sublime vocals and fueling the hits ("Virtual Insanity," "Cosmic Girl," 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

 WOW. May 18, 2008
John Gerdes (Fort Worth, TX United States)
I don't know how I missed this when it was first released but boy am I glad I stumbled into it. This album is looooooaded with groove from start to finish. The bass/drum teamwork is dirty, funky, pocket-syncopated heaven. The use of disco strings, latin accessory percussion, Rhodes pianos, etc works very well together without being kitschy or tacky. It sounds old and new at the same time. And, at the end of the day, who really cares 'when' it sounds like. To me it just sounds GOOD.
So groovy.

How many radio hits can this CDs have!? You'd be amazed by the complexity of the songs and the talents that musicians have. No need to say virtual insanity is the song that made them popular, won grammy and all that. Other songs like Alright and Cosmic Girls fans favorites. I like the last hidden song in this album. This album also features songs like Traveling without Moving and High Times. The entire album sounds like you're traveling in outer space! So sit tight and enjoy this magical ride. :)

I really dig this music, maybe it reminds me of the 80's, or TV in my youth, but I don't find it easy to pigeon-hole this kind of funky, jazzy, poppy, dance music. Sure, it has a retro-feel, but Jamiroquai has a lot of danceable energy that's fun to listen to. It's not sugar-coated yet appeals to my 3 & 6 yr. old as well. Some of the tunes on this album aren't as catchy as others, but overall, Travelling Without Moving works very well. I also like Canned Heat, a song they did for the movie Center Stage, not surprisingly a dance movie.
These are High Times indeed! November 21, 2007

Get this album to dance to, if not just get it to listen to. Solid british funk at its best ladies and gentlemen. This is a must have for funk collectors!

Although the music is somewhat "retro", (disco throwback), it's still really good listening.
