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	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	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!
11 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!
12 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!
13 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!
14 view cover	Everything Is Everything (1995) more music like this by Jasper & the Prodigal Suns On the surface, Everything Is Everything is strongly reminiscent of the work of G. Love & Special Sauce (friends of the group who helped get Jasper & the Prodigal Suns their initial deal), but a closer listen reveals a strong kinship to the early-'90s Native Tongues movement of positive Afrocentric rap and shaggy-dog humor; Arrested Development's ... see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	Eleven (2006) more music like this by Incognito The U.K.-based supergroup Incognito released their 11th career recording and it's a sleek, pop/jazz offering that will have you swinging and swaying to their groovy guitars, big horns, and soulful vocals. This is the first time the group has recorded with its touring band and it's a whole new groove. This sophisticated take on acid jazz features ... see all copies from $10.01! new only from $15.41!
16 view cover	A Funk Odyssey (2001) more music like this by Jamiroquai After the jarring reception of 1999's Synkronized, Jamiroquai constructed A Funk Odyssey, something more polished and slick inside the band's own brand of funky disco-rock. Jason Kay and keyboardist/songwriter Toby Smith perfected a maturation that was left keyed in Travelling Without Moving but left open-ended on Synkronized for a wide scope of ... see all copies from $6.72! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Locked in a Basement (2006) more music like this by Heernt When it comes to the avant-garde, jazz purists and bop snobs have no interest in seeing any shades of gray. They lump all avant-garde jazz together and will tell you -- with a straight face -- that there are no major stylistic differences between the Either/Orchestra and a free jazz firebrand like saxophonist Charles Gayle (which is as ridiculous ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.95!
18 view cover	The Return of the Space Cowboy (1994) more music like this by Jamiroquai Jamiroquai's sophomore record had all the slinky grooves and great musicianship of the debut, but it also offered a better set of songs and more ambitious musical themes. As with Emergency on Planet Earth, Jason Kay's dead-on impression of Stevie Wonder and Sly Stone drives the group's blend of acid jazz and funky R&B. "Space Cowboy" and "Light ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
19 view cover	Tales of High Fever (2002) more music like this by ZUCO 103 This Brazilian trio's sophomore effort finds the band continuing its global dance project, blending Brazilian rhythms and Portuguese lyrics with elements of R&B, acid jazz, and breakbeat, delivering all of it with a counterintuitive combination of laid-back relaxation and infectious energy. It's hard to know where to focus your attention: Lilian ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	O'2L (2003) more music like this by O'2L On paper, this meeting might seem to be an unlikely collaboration, as keyboardist/sound designer and jingle composer Jane Mangini aligns her faculties with heavy metal guitarist Al Pitrelli. It's an interesting endeavor for sure, as Mangini acts as the central voice throughout this wonderfully constructed production. Here, the listener is treated ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.95!
21 view cover	In the Buzz Bag (1998) more music like this by Brooklyn Funk Essentials Their moniker is deceptive because this huge (23-piece) outfit deals in everything from global dub ("Istanbul Twilight") to Middle-Eastern bass-and-drums ("By and Bye"). While this far-flung stylistic sampling might result in havoc, these folks keep it real by focusing on the groove. When they do kick into a straight-ahead funk riff on the title ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $15.40!
22 view cover	Mushroom Jazz (1996) more music like this by Mark Farina Farina's hypnotic dance-floor jazz creates a trippy background mix and an enjoyable look at some promising new artists for those willing to listen. That being said, it's not a seamless mix, containing some jarring transitions. Tracks that don't fade into the background are the international hit single by Blue Boy, "Remember Me," and Mr. Electric ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $11.11!
23 view cover	We the People (1996) more music like this by Groove Collective In the late '90s, it looked like the concept of "acid jazz" was going to catch on. The idea was to create jazz so funky and rhythmic that it would be danced to in clubs and perhaps even catch on big commercially. Most groups that became involved in acid jazz de-emphasized the jazz in favor of mundane rhythms, going for the potential money at the ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $13.78!
24 view cover	No Time Like the Future (1999) more music like this by Incognito see all copies from $2.49! new only from $8.95!
25 view cover	House of Om (2007) more music like this by Mark Farina see all copies from $7.87! new only from $12.56!
