Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Jamiroquai have soundly established themselves as a name synonymous with the summer breeze sound they've claimed as their own. Space Cowboy is no exception, as the salsa jazz-fusion buzzes wistfully and harmoniously through every track on the album. Following the path laid out in Emergency On Planet Earth, this second album catapulted the band into stardom and left front man Jay Kay dancing to songs of admiration as the first self-appointed Space Cowboy. The title track epitomises the essence of big band dance music with a funky fresh vibe of feel good energy and toe-tapping excitement. Although the album lacks any big surprises, the definitive Jamiroquai sound captures mind, body and soul, making it difficult for any music lover to ignore. --David Trueman

- The best Jamiroquai album so far
This is by far the best album Jamiroquai have written. It came at a time when Jamiroquai had it's finest line-up of band members inc Jay, Toby, Wallis & Stuart. This album builds on Emergency On Planet Earth's Acid Jazz vibes and takes it to another level. Many of the tracks are very mellow, but in Scam and Just Another Story we hear some real serious, almost angry, funk. This album also includes perhaps the most classic Jamiroquai track: Space Cowboy, available here in it's full album version glory -far more musically interesting than the somewhat more radio friendly version that was released as a single. This album also includes one of the finest performances of the genre on bass guitar by Stuart Zender. If you are a music lover and like ... Read More:

- Jamiroquai at the very best
Its 2004, and for some reason I have never reviewed this Jamiroquai album. I don't know why as is it perhaps the best out of all five.

A musical masterpiece is all I can describe it as. So many different sounds, mixed with some clever and poinent lyrics.

The album starts off with "Just Another Story" which is all about lead singer Jay Kay, and his life so far. The line
" He was just 17 trying to get on like his dead brother" is one that strikes you straight away.
Its musically top notch, with the trumpets blasting, the flute swaying and Kay's voice flowing.
Track 2 is "Stillness in Time" which is beautiful track. This was a single back in 94' and the video (although rarly seen on tv) looks as fresh as anything ... Read More:

- A Classic
I've only just started listening to Jamiroquai again recently, but as soon as I stuck this CD on, all of the good times came flooding back.

This is probably the best album Jamiroquai have produced, as there isn't a single track that I skip when I listen to it, unlike tracks such as "Supersonic" etc, which features on "Synkronized".

Every track has been masterfully produced by Jay Kay and Co, featuring some of the funkiest basslines ever laid down as well as some ultra-smooth vocals from the main man. The entire album is also complimented by some excellent synth work, which rather than stand out from the other instruments, blend in nicely.

Even though I like every track, my particular favourites are: "Just Another Story", ... Read More:

- Classic Jamiroquai
I bought this CD from Singapore about 4 years ago, and at first I didnt give it much listening. But as I dusted off the CD about 6 months back as I was talking to a friend about classic songs, I realised how good the album was, and how much I actually knew it. It is probably Jamiroquai's most diverse CD( dont quote me on that, I havent got Emergency on Planet Earth (yet)), including the slow, mellow beats and chilledness of 'Half The Man', 'Morning Glory', 'Manifest Destiny' and 'Space Cowboy' along with the dirty bass of the instrumental 'Journey to Arnhelmland' and then the mid-tempo elevator style music of 'Stillness In Time' which all combines well with the dirty funk of 'Just Another Story' and 'The Kids' and the stand-out, trademark Jamiroquai funky ...

- THE GROOVIEST AND MOST SATISFYING JAMIROQUAI DISC
I disagree with the detractors that claim that each Jamiroquai disc is the same as the previous one, they are undoubtedly one of the more consistant acts of recent years, and their body of work stands head and shoulders above most. This, their second album, is my personal favourite. The sound is mellow and languid, certainly Jay's least upbeat offering, yet one that repays with repeated listening. While lacking the big radio hits of his other discs, it includes the classic "Half The Man", the timeless (near)title track, the funked-up "Light Years" and, in my eyes, their best single in the 1995 UK top 10-er "Stillness in Time". If you appreciate the less-poppy side of Jamiroquai, buy this cd!
