With a voice like Stevie Wonder, a production sound that recalls the string-laden, slinky-bass disco of Studio 54 and a penchant for funky dance moves and outlandish hats, Jamiroquai's Jay Kay has successfully managed to straddle the underground and mainstream for the best part of 15 years. High Times brings together 19 of his band's hits to date, ranging from early 90s acid jazz classics "When You Gonna Learn", "Too Young To Die" and "Blow Your Mind", to later successes such as "Canned Heat", "Cosmic Girl", "Virtual Insanity" and on to recent songs from 2005 album Dynamite, such as "Feels Just Like It Should" and "7 Days In Sunny June". There are also two new tracks - the current single "Runaway" and the edgier "Radio", both of which continue the Jamiroquai tradition of mildly euphoric dancefloor disco-soul. Despite sticking to a formula of sorts over the years, the songs on this collection compliment each other well and form an impressive overview of one of the UK's most distinctive bands.--Danny McKenna

 Jamiroquai - High Times: Singles 1992-2006 November 1, 2006

It isn't until you see the track listing for this album that you realise what a long running and continuously successful career Jamiroquai have had. From their debut single; "When you gunna learn" which peaked at #52 in the charts to their newest realease "Runaway" this album has all the highs and lows of their career.
Jamiroquai, lead by singer songwriter Jay-K, were set up after he failed to get a part in the 90's band "Brand New Heavies" and after their fourteen successful years in the spotlight, Jamiroquai have had a total of 20 band members and have recorded with the likes of Jools Holland, Kool and the Gang and Beverley Knight to name a few.
For anyone who [very sadly] don't know who or what Jamiroquai are, their sound can be described as Acid-Jazz Funk Pop Dance with exceptional vocal parts from Jay-K as well as brilliant guitar riffs, excellent strings, fabulous rhythmns and funky bass lines, and their sound is an all together catchy and loveable one at that.
And whilst Jamiroquai have had some fabulous hit singles, you may be shocked to know that alot of their tracks peaked outside of the top ten, and alot also outside of the top twenty. And in their 14 year career Jamiroquai have only managed to score one number one record in the UK singles charts. Dispite this their albums have all been consistantly successful, all peaking within the top three, many of which went to number one!
"High Times" is collection of Jamiroquai's most successful works to date, featuring their huge songs; "Canned Heat", "Cosmic Girl" and their number one single (which featured in the Godzilla movie) "Deeper Underground". The album also features a second CD of some great remixs of their best known tracks, and whilst they may not be as widely popular to Jamiroquai's audience, for anyone who enjoyed them in nightclubs in the late 90's, this will be a CD to bring back memories.
This is an album for every music collection. Jamiroquai's music is iconic to the music industry and deserves to be loved and enjoyed by everyone!
10/10 for "High Times"
Absolutely brilliant! November 7, 2006

I have a been a huge Jamiroquai fan for about 10 years now since I was 9 and they have been consistently brilliant throughout their 14 year career.
This tracklisting as a body of work in chronological order demonstrates just how consistently brilliant the band have been. Right from the debut single When You Gonna Learn through to the newest offerings, Runaway and Radio, the quality in instrumentation and sublime vocal work from JK is ever present.
My constant gripe as a Jamiroquai fan is the ignorant view many people have that the bands music is formulaic and all songs are similar!
But just listen to this collection from start to finish and the evolution of sound from the brass and string filled acid jazz sounds of Too Young to Die and Blow Your Mind, to the more recent rockier songs such as Radio and Feels Just Like it Should is evident.
Jamiroquai are a truly wonderful, unique band with the marvellous JK being the heart beat. I challenge anyone to listen to this collection and say that Jamiroquai are not one of the best British bands in the last 15-20 years.
Has to be 5 stars!
Fantastic Music! November 9, 2006

This is by far one of the best cd's out there right now!
Jamiroquai is an icon of the british music scene, without a doubt, they made their path, and became one of the best groups of the last 20 years of the music industry. The sound so refreshing, the beats and the melodies, are going to stay for many years.
This cd marks, the success and the superior quality of Pop-Funk-Techno music!
Long Live Jamiroquai!
Exquisite funky sounds!.... December 21, 2006

Jamiroquai have always been one of my favourite bands right from the early Acid Jazz days up to the more commercial dance/pop tunes of today. Ok, so it always seems to be about Jay Kay, flash cars and paparazzi bust ups nowadays (or so the media likes to portray), but once upon a time, there was a cool band that was original, talented and wrote wicked songs.
This 'greatest hits' album takes you on a fantastic journey through the lifetime of Jamiroquai, and makes you sit back and realise how incredible the band have been.
The early Acid Jazz days with tracks such as 'Too young to die' have always been my favourites, but the list of singles show how versatile this band have been at adapting their sound in the ever changing, industry of music.
Bands like Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies (who also have a new album out), have been around for a while now and are already influencing new, up and coming bands and artists such as 'Chichino', which goes to show that they have definately made a big impact in the music industry over the last 14 years.
We need more music like this in what seems to be an indie-guitar dominated world at the moment. More upbeat, danceable funky songs to strutt our stuff to please!!
Music should be like this June 1, 2007

High Times: Singles 1992-2006 by ~ Jamiroquai is an album which deserve the highest praise for delivering quality music. Music should be like this, as it tuneful, sheer class and most of all quality, not all this manufactured rubbish which the music industry is bombarded with today. The album features some memorable funky and dance music closely associated with the 90's. The album features 19 singles, which are great joy and pleasure to listen to. Some of big and memorable hits featured in this album include Too young to die, Blow your mind, Emergency on planet earth, Space Cowboy, Virutal Insanity, Cosmic Girl and so on. Listening to the singles sure relightens your mood and makes you feel good. It is feel good music.
High Times: Singles 1992-2006 by ~ Jamiroquai is what real music should entail. This album certainly satisfies my musical taste. If you love dance and funky music, you will certainly like this album. It is a great album, well worth purchasing for the quality it brings.
