This made me excited to hear, after they previewed the album in London yesterday:
Quote:
Highlights from the live set included the bass-led "Smoke And Mirrors," which was reminiscent of "Off The Wall"-era Michael Jackson and "Lifeline," a soulful pop number with a towering chorus.
Demonstrating a subtle shift in musical direction, the band also played two unnamed rock-flavored tracks from "Rock Dust Light Star," both of which saw Jay Kay's still strong falsetto compete with driving guitar riffs and tumbling bass lines.
Following a passionate, if not particularly gripping, performance of syrupy ballad "Blue Skies" - the forthcoming U.K. single - Jamiroquai ended its set with the hi-octane disco funk tune "White Knuckle Ride." The track was given a limited European release earlier this year.

Amazon US is pulling that shit a lot lately...they had the Chic box from Rhino France up for pre order for weeks at $47, then all of a sudden last week they jacked it up to $89.99!

The album has been "around" for a few weeks. I think it's very good, but not as danceable as his last few efforts. This one goes closer to his first few albums...more light funk, and a diversion or two into something close to classic rock. Very nice in all, but I prefer "disco Jamiroquai" more.
Thankfully, though, not a Didgeridoo in earshot!

I got this in the mail yesterday and played it on the way to work today (got up to the middle of track 6)... I'm really enjoying it!
I agree with Royal that it's not quite the dance club music his last several efforts have been but I'm actually digging the slightly more laid back grooves of this album.
