5.0 out of 5 stars A Taste of Pure Funk!, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Synkronized (Audio CD)

Jamiroquai was great @ Woodstock!!!!! Their new CD has more funk and is less experimental than "Travellin' w/o Moving." Although I'm not a big fan of disco, "Canned Heat" definitely has good vibes and kinda grows on you. "Black Capricorn Day" reminds me of Lenny Kravitz; it's pretty powerful. "Destitute Illusion" is good for an instrumental number and "Where Do We Go From Here" spices it up. My favorite tracks are "Planet Home" and "King for a Day." I love the bassline in "Planet Home" and it's not lacking in any of the songs, Nick Fyffe does a good job. "King for a Day" is a nice dose of Gothic meets Acid Jazz, very cool. Even though "King 4 a Day" is meant as a personal message to Zender, it has the best set of lyrics in the album and the most riveting music. It should be the title track for a movie soundtrack.

So if you're looking for something new or you just like Jamiroquai's Funk n Acid Jazz style, then go get this album. Just don't turn down this album because you're a Suburban Casualty, don't live n die in the norm...EXPERIMENT!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lords of Funk Return Once Again, August 5, 2000

As the band's fourth studio effort, "Synkronized," truly validates Jamiroquai's status as the most popular and gifted soul group out there. Fresh from the success of their best selling "Travelling Without Moving" album, Jay Kay and his band return with a fresh sounding sound that no one can try to imitate.

The first single "Canned Heat," is a high-tech, funk creation that brings the bands to their roots. Fast, beat-laden rhythms and Jay Kay's moving vocals made this song a hit during the summer of 1999. Other tracks such as "Planet Home," show how Jamiroquai is able to use various international musical styles (in this case their use of salsa in the third-quarter of the song) really can rock a crowd without them really knowing what they are hearing.

Other songs as "Supersonic" and "Butterfly" are some of the album's great tracks, however unlike their previous album, this album is short on songs that made "Travelling Without Moving" such a huge international hit. Nevertheless, "Synkronized" is an awesome album. Give this and all of Jamiroquai's albums a try, and I can guarantee that you'll become bonafide fans. No one can resist the power and sound of Jamiroquai.
