A Funk Odyssey

Boogie is back big time. From Paris discos to LA film sets the history of classic, pre-techno dance music has been rolled out as the new hip thing.

Meanwhile Jamiroquai have moved on, ahead of the game, taking their funky fusion to the next level of evolution. The hints of a turbo re-vamp to their organic groove were there on "Synkronized".

Now comes "A funk odyssey", overhauling the engine on the Jamiroquai funk machine to bring it in line with the sharpest technological dance.

"A funk odyssey" is hyper-motivating on many levels.

A state-of-the-art attack on your ass, your heart and your mind.

The Quincey-esque funkboost of the first single, "Little L" sets the tone.

The good times really roll on "Feels So Good" - a spaced out nu-disco classic - and dancefloors will quake nitefever style to "You Give Me Something".

Whilst showing off Jamiroquai's mastery of sublime dance music the album also confirms his way with a tear-jerking ballad and an audacious string arrangement.

The heart-stopping, confessional "Picture Of My Life" and the beautiful, meditative, Latin brushed "Corner Of The Earth" are career highpoints.

"A funk odyssey" debuted at No. 1 in both the UK and Australia.
