Adding pop savvy to their soul-disco mix, Jamiroquai grabbed the attention of MTV and Top 40 radio and won a Grammy with this platinum-selling album, their third. It's a fine record, with warm keyboards, sweet strings, and irrepressible grooves grounding Jay Kay's sublime vocals and fueling the hits ("Virtual Insanity," "Cosmic Girl," the title track). That voice--elastic, jazzy--is the fire of the band, but immaculate guitar sounds, snappy backup vocals, and clever old-school soul samples (Eddie Harris on "Alright," Esther Phillips on "High Times") are the details that create perfection. Balancing the dance-ready, radio-friendly tracks are the ballads "Everyday" and "Spend a Lifetime," the reggae-styled "Drifting Along," and a couple of didjeridoo instrumentals. --Suzanne McElfresh

Travelling without Moving.......2007-01-09
Although the music is somewhat "retro", (disco throwback), it's still really good listening.
Question?.......2006-11-09
I am a real jazz lover, old school, new school, acid jazz, neo-soul, funk, you name it. This particular Jamiroquai cd is everthing. In my opinion, it rocks. There's not one song on the whole disk that I don't totally enjoy. I only recently heard of the group, and this cd is the only one I have heard so far. I would like to know if there's any other Jamiroquai cd's I should check out? I need to know if there's maybe another work as good as, if not better, than this one. I am one of those people who hate to buy a cd and only like one or two songs on the whole thing. If you know of any other Jamiroquai cd's, or any other artist who sounds as awesome as this one does, please let me in on it.
I Like Their Style.......2006-11-08
I'm not really a fan of Jamiroquai, not that I don't like their music before or after this album, this is just the first album of their I've listened to. The very first song from Jamiroquai that I've ever heard was the single for this album Virtual Insanity. To me it is a song with a smooth sound that should catch everyone's ear. After the second track the rest of the album was unpredictable for me because Virtual Insanity sets a certain sound that most artists would stick with. Every song on this album has its own distinct sound and feeling to it, that's my favorite thing about this album that it has the ability to give something different with every song. You get a couple of really beautiful slow songs that could melt metal and though the lyrics are lacking "Spend a life time" the music picks it up. You've got songs that you can chill to and are really the definition for a perfect chill song. For people that don't know much about Jamiroquai like myself I think Traveling without moving is the album to start with because it is sure to get you hooked.
This slick album brings a mature string of arrangements.......2006-07-24
I remember years ago when I saw the music video for "Virtual Insanity" with its unique special effects and Jay Kay's signature vocal "sound," I had an inkling that it was going to be a good album to listen to. It's definitely a quick pick-me-up! You've got all different kinds of music on it. Reggae, rock, pop, jazz... etc. Whatever kind of music that floats your boat, you'll probably find on this album.
My favorite tracks are "Virtual Insanity" (of COURSE...) "Alright" (just makes you want to dance), "Cosmic Girl," "Traveling Without Moving," "Everyday," and "Drifting Along." I have to admit I'm rarely able to "sit" through the disc in its entirety. It seems to be a work that is three fourths complete with eight of the thirteen cuts exceptional and five being substandard.
Jay Kay really brings a unique style of Jazz mixed with Dance that sends you into a world of groovy romantic fantasy, with mind-fuzzing bass and dreamful lyrics. The flourish of various instruments harmonizing into one beautiful sound is enough to keep you excited once you place this album into your player, other than that 'Travelling without Moving' is good album to have due to it's collaboration.
Space.......2006-04-04
Driven by a 70's funk, dance release, Travelling Without Moving, is a deeper push for Jamiroquai and for the time. "Cosmic Girl" is a good example of the album's direction with its mixture of disco, funk and dance that feels like a roller rink song. The variety found on this LP is apparently unmatched with titles such as the mellow love song "Everyday" quickly takes the spotlight. For a more Jamaican / Reggae instrumentation "Drifting Along" shows the versatility of Jamiroquai with its exotic atmosphere. Both "Didjerama" and "Didjital Vibrations" are instrumentals, but track 8 becomes annoying with its looped vibes. "Didjital Vibrations" could stand alone as a jazzy, funk rendition that's only missing crooning vocals to set it off. "Spend A Lifetime" is a romantic tune filled with a beautiful violin arrangement to help complete this album. Track 13 is a bonus track to conclude Travelling Without Moving on a high note or at least an up-beat.

Customer Reviews:
How this differs from the domestic release.......2001-09-27
Is it worth paying the extra money for the import? The extra disc with the remixes is pretty good. On the main CD, the 13th untitled bonus track is the same as the domestic release. The real gem here is the 14th (unlisted) track, which is on the Euro and Australian releases, but not the US - strange, because I think it's the best song on the album. It's the "Function" song, and it's hysterical. For me, it was worth the extra money for this one song alone.
NEO FUNK OF THE 90's.......1998-12-09
I'm 18 and I grew up listening to the old funk that my dad played around the house. Jamiroquai reminds me of some of the funk artist of the 70's. The cd is a good mixture of funk, rock, and soul. I love this cd it is on my top 10 favorite cd's of all time. So buy it...turn it up loud...and dance to it while you are doing chores around the house....I't's so funky you have your own personal party by yourself with this one!!!!
