1	Travelling Without Moving [Bonus Track] (1996) more music like this by Jamiroquai Travelling Without Moving deepens the acid jazz and '70s soul fusions of Return of the Space Cowboy, yet it doesn't have the uniform consistency of its predecessor. Nevertheless, Jamiroquai's fusions sound more fully realized with each outing, which makes its patchy songwriting forgivable. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.81!
2	Emergency on Planet Earth (1993) more music like this by Jamiroquai 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 ... see all copies from $3.84! new only from $11.06!
3	Let's Get Started (1999) more music like this by Gota Percussionist/producer Gota Yashiki's pop résumé -- everything from playing on Seal's "Kiss from A Rose" to creating all the instrumentation for Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to U" -- informs us of his deep sense of sonic texturing, but hardly prepares us for the intense acid jazz experience his own band generates. While the groove on Let's ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $10.64!
4	Simple Things (2001) more music like this by Zero 7 Forget the rampant labeling of Zero 7 as the "British Air," because Simple Things is a debut album that stands on its own as a chilled, subtle collection of organic songs. There are hints of Air, but there are equally relevant comparisons that might be made with Morcheeba, Rae & Christian, Nightmares on Wax, and early Massive Attack. Indeed, after ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $15.98!
5	Soundbombing, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists With Soundbombing, Vol. 1, Rawkus introduced a ravenous stable of hungry underground MCs, but more importantly it also laid the preliminary groundwork for Mos Def and Talib Kweli's Black Star movement. Both play a large role in the development of Soundbombing, Vol. 2 as well. Mos screens a preview from his impending solo LP, the high-tech "Next ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $12.86!
6	The Mirror Conspiracy (2000) more music like this by Thievery Corporation Like their debut album, Thievery Corporation's second, The Mirror Conspiracy, is a pleasant album of sublime mid-tempo trip-hop, reminiscent of easy listening groove music, and continually referencing the breezier, atmospheric side of Brazilian, Jamaican, French, and Indian forms. The nocturnal dub-poetry of "Treasures" sets a tone for the ... see all copies from $14.48! new only from $14.48!
7	Chillounge (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Lounge music is pretty much chilled-out by definition, but chillout music is not necessarily loungey. This collection achieves both states simultaneously, for better or worse, by combining the slow, funky grooves of trip-hop and nu-jazz with wanky wah-wah guitars, slinky pan-European vocals, and the occasional dollop of syrupy strings. It's a ... see all copies from $12.16! new only from $14.29!
8	The Quiet Revolution (1993) more music like this by Ronny Jordan see all copies from $12.95!
9	Shelter (1997) more music like this by The Brand New Heavies By the time the Brand New Heavies released Shelter in 1997, urban R&B was shifting toward the more organic grooves that they helped pioneer in the early '90s. Although the Heavies were into acid jazz as well, they smoothed over many of the experimental elements of their music in the mid-'90s, leaving behind a seductive, earthy, and jazzy variation ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
10	Positivity (1994) more music like this by Incognito This is an excellent collection of jazz and fusion numbers featuring the wholesome, peerless vocals of Maysa Leak and group newcomer Mark Anthoni. With gritty, urban rhythms and painstaking arrangements, Leak's radiant vocals ring with invitation. The lyrical content is upright and substantive. All the songs have an aggressive backbeat regardless ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $13.20!
11 view cover	Synkronized (1999) more music like this by Jamiroquai Three years after their breakout Travelling Without Moving, Jamiroquai returned with another album that charts Jay Kay's continuing fascination with club-bound music of the 1970s -- from disco to jazz-funk to rare groove to later Motown -- but also shows signs of maturity. Produced by Kay with Al Stone, who also collaborated on Travelling Without ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.39!
12 view cover	Bone Deep (2003) more music like this by Jeff Bradshaw see all copies from $4.84! new only from $4.84!
13 view cover	From Manhattan to Staten (1997) more music like this by Down to the Bone see all copies from $2.49! new only from $12.61!
14 view cover	Music Evolution (1997) more music like this by Buckshot LeFonque & Branford Marsalis Despite the occasional lapse into aimless fusion, Buckshot LeFonque's second album, Music Evolution, is a stronger, more confident record than their eponymous debut, capturing Branford Marsalis and his band -- including cameos by David Sanborn, Guru, and Laurence Fishburne -- finding a vibrant, exciting common ground between hard bop and hip-hop. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
15 view cover	Higher Learning (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Reflecting the mixed musical tastes of the film's university population, the soundtrack to John Singleton's Higher Learning features a broad sampling of rap, modern folk, indie, and R&B music. The majority of these sides were cut especially for the soundtrack, with standouts including tracks by Ice Cube, Outkast, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Liz Phair, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.27!
16 view cover	Reich Remixed (1999) more music like this by Steve Reich Since he's one of the most influential classical composers for later electronica producers, it's only natural that Steve Reich should get his own remix collection, to file alongside Pierre Henry and others. This ten-track collection includes some of the most respected new producers in the field -- from beat veterans Coldcut, Howie B and Kurtis ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $7.20!
17 view cover	Get Used to It (2006) more music like this by The Brand New Heavies The most surprising thing about Get Used to It is that the Brand New Heavies sound very much like an honest-to-gosh band instead of the instrumental unit with a hired frontwoman they always have been. Out of the BNH crew for a decade, vocalist N'Dea Davenport returns and it's both familiar and just like starting over. Young upstart hunger drips ... see all copies from $2.33! new only from $6.00!
18 view cover	Road to Freedom (1993) more music like this by Young Disciples On their impressive debut Road to Freedom, the fiercely political Young Disciples offer muscular funk garnished with jazz, hip-hop and R&B flourishes. The majority of vocals are handled by Carleen Anderson, whose low, smoky voice at times brings to mind the likes of Chaka Khan, Anita Baker and Oleta Adams. The production is clever and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
19 view cover	The Jazzmasters II (1995) more music like this by Paul Hardcastle Essentially background dance music with cooing vocals, quiet and predictable electronic rhythms and some derivative sax solos, the performances on this CD are pleasant but instantly forgettable. Paul Hardcastle plays keyboards, guitar, bass and percussion and is assisted by singer Helen Rogers and the reeds of Phil Todd and Chris Snake Davis. From ... see all copies from $8.11! new only from $14.56!
20 view cover	Adventures in Black Sunshine (2004) more music like this by Incognito It's funny how every time another phenomenally funky, brass-fired groove party comes out in the shape of another solid Incognito date, the label touts it as "retro." This time, Narada Jazz's press materials focus on all of group mastermind Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick's influences in order to remind listeners that he's a child of the '70s. But the ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $15.41!
21 view cover	Copperopolis (2006) more music like this by Charlie Hunter Trio Longtime Charlie Hunter associates John Ellis (reeds and keys) and drummer Derek Phillips were soon to leave the fold after the recording of this session, but there is no sign of undue tension in this typically impressive set. The proceedings kick off with the hard rocking "Cueball Bobbin'...," where Ellis switches from keys to sax and back as ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $14.56!
22 view cover	Doin' Something (2001) more music like this by Soulive On paper -- and on-stage -- a grooving jazz trio with a guitarist, drummer, and Hammond organist who hammers bass notes with his feet and left hand sounds like a great idea. Indeed, Soulive (keyboardist Neal Evans, guitarist Eric Krasno, and drummer Alan Evans) is one of the fledgling rising stars on the jam band circuit, covering great tunes like ... see all copies from $2.92! new only from $4.01!
23 view cover	Mastered the Art (2001) more music like this by Greyboy Andreas Stevens (aka Greyboy) first emerged as a DJ at the end of the 1980s. After christening Michael McFadin's Ubiquity imprint with his Greyboy 12" #1, he provided the label with one of its first full-lengths, 1994s Freestylin'. On his third outing, Mastered the Art, the DJs dusty, hip-hop beats are found mingling with the retro sounds of his ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $11.15!
24 view cover	Tribes Vibes + Scribes (1992) more music like this by Incognito This England-based dance and funk, but mostly jazz, band brings nothing but energy to this project. The production is sleek, and the arrangements are precise. Maysa Leak reaches her higher notes without abandoning the fullness of her unwavering lower range. Half of the songs on this album utilize her vocals, while the others are instrumentals. The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.78!
25 view cover	Beneath the Surface [1997] (1996) more music like this by Incognito Beneath the Surface finds original lead singer Maysa Leak returning to the Incognito fold. Coincidentally or not, the record finds the group moving deeply into smooth, laidback, jazzy soul. It's a seductive sound and the group executes it well, even though there ironically isn't that much substance beneath the surface. Leo Stanley, All Music ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.77!
