Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With songs that fall exactly in between early Michael Jackson and Taste of Honey, Jamiroquai's Synkronized is a funk-disco inferno that is distinguished from its 1970s counterparts only by its 1990s production. It contains all the same ingredients: wah-wah guitar, electric piano, soft-sided strings oozing out melody, pot-bellied bass and a blasted-out horn section that evokes images of three guys stepping in sync while their sequined flairs swipe over white patent-leather loafers. While the funk is steamy enough to flatten the tallest 'fro, Jay Kay's impeccable ability to emulate Stevie Wonder's vocals brings on the cool side. But the album isn't all about a time warp. Just when you think Jamiroquai aren't going to step a toe beyond 1978, "Supersonic", the seventh track, throws down an acid-house riff that works in didgeridoo and a synthed-out cowbell. "Where Do We Go from Here" rocks with a leapfrogging blues piano and tangy bongos. The album's grand finale, "King for a Day", is a regal rock-operatic excursion embellished with fully orchestrated piano and strings. Overall, this Jamiroquai jamfest is an irreplaceable summer-in-the-city album.--Beth Massa


CD Description

On their fourth record, Jamiroquai continue their quest to drag dance music into the new millennium with a sound that fuses influences from the past with an international spin. This time around, Jamiroquai uses the string-heavy Gamble & Huff arrangements of classic '70s Philly soul as its musical touchstone. Songs such as "Canned Heat" and "Butterfly" establish a mood that moves from booty-shaking grooves to hypnotic head-bobbing thanks to generous dollops of fuzz bass, darting strings and propulsive percussion.
Even though frontman Jay Kay's vocals are a little too reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's upper register, the addition of wicked Clavinet and wah-wah guitar point the musical vibe more towards Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes, particularly on the blaxploitative funk of "Soul Education" and "Black Capricorn Day". "Supersonic" is a multi-cultural smorgasbord that finds Jamiroquai crossing Latin-flavoured percussion with the otherworldly sounds of the Australian didgeridoo. The result is an aural playground of bouncing rhythms and electronic effects.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic album, well worth buying!!, 14 Feb 2001
By gnaldrett@mac.com (St Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This was one of these albums that you look at for ages but never get round to buying. Well thank god I finally got around to it!! This is another masterpiece by the British funk master himself. With some quality tunes that have proved successful in the charts and the usual Jamiroquai strange but relaxing non-released songs using instruments from all over the world this diverse album is the most listened to CD in my collection. Buy it now, you will not be dissappointed!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album for a great band..., 10 Feb 2001
By J. Kelly - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
People of the Jamiroquai-loving society seem to bash this album as too 'poppy', and blame this on the leaving of Stuart Zender. A tragedy, but not to blame for an evolution is style. This is a brilliant album, not unlike the previous ones, but not carbon copies of old things tried. Jamiroquai is a train, and we're all moving to the front carriage, moving from one class to another. This is one carriage you don't want to miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Triumph, 29 Oct 2003
My all time greatest band Jamiroquai has created a masterpiece in this, their fourth album.

This album seems to stray from the Acid Jazz roots apparent in their previous albums, which angered many fans. I have to say though, there is alot more 'pop' experimentation, but... I love it. In fact the song 'Deeper Underground' was the first song I had heard from this group when I was younger, and now I own every other album. Even after hearing everything else by them this album still holds charm.

When I say experimentation, I mean experimentation. Almost every song is different, Canned heat is very different to Deeper Underground for example. There is alot of dance, pop and still just a pinch of jazz in this album that makes it very versatile and enjoyable to listen to.
