DESCRIPTION:
NAD (National Album Day), Release on Ltd Edition Clear Vinyl =-Debut Acid Jazz Funk & Soul LP From 1993 - Repressed on Heavyweight Vinyl With Free Download Code For LP *& Gatefold Sleeve
Jamiroquai made a large initial splash in 1993 with Emergency on Planet Earth, a psychedelic melange of tight funky rhythms, acid rock intimations, and '70s soul melodies. Frontman Jay Kay introduces himself with an environmentally oriented manifesto inside the sleeve, and his lyrics smack of idealist save the planet revolution. But this revolution would be held on the dancefloor if the band's impressive rhythm section had anything to say about it. Horns, string arrangements, and a didgeridoo provide full texture on most of the album's tunes, and the socially aware party vibe raged into the U.K.'s number one album slot. For a debut, Emergency shows quite a range of diversity, from the up-tempo jazzy instrumental "Music of the Mind" to the stop-start funk of "Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop."

Last FM Information on Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai are an English acid jazz and funk band formed in London in 1992. The group is led by vocalist Jay Kay, who has remained the sole consistent member throughout multiple lineup changes. They initially became associated with the London acid jazz movement of the early 1990s and later incorporated influences from rock, disco, electronic music, and Latin styles. Their lyrics have frequently focused on social and environmental themes.
Jamiroquai first recorded under Acid Jazz Records before signing with Sony, where they achieved mainstream commercial success. Several of their albums reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, including "Emergency on Planet Earth" (1993), "Synkronized" (1999), and "A Funk Odyssey" (2001). Their 1998 single "Deeper Underground" also topped the UK Singles Chart.
By 2017, the band had sold more than 26 million albums worldwide. Their third studio album, "Travelling Without Moving" (1996), was recognized by Guinness World Records as the best-selling funk album in history. The success of its single "Virtual Insanity", whose music video won Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and earned a Grammy Award in 1998, played a significant role in expanding the band’s international prominence.
