The basslines on the first album were great, but it was a poorly engineered album. Even Jay admitted that. If you listen to it close enough, you could tell. I too, think Nick is a very talented bassist, but I don't expect him to break out and be creative anytime soon. Not while Jay's running things.

His wife? Mel Blatt formerly of All Saints has an album coming out soon, and he's playing and producing it, also.

I love Jamiroquai, I've got all of the albums except Return of the Space Cowboy. I must honestly say, I think since Zender left the music has not gotten better. I think it's gone a bit backwards.
I'm not saying the Fyffe isn't an awesome bassist. I just think the Zender suited that style of music more. The last two albums that Fyffe has played on were good, but the bass has not contributed as much, or been as important a part of the music as it was before Synkronized. I think that A Funk Oddessy is a good album, but not great. The music sounds way to electronic, almost like it could have produced by some guy at his PC. The bass, as someone already said, is drowned in effects. The one song that I do really like though is Main Vein.
I suppose I was just a bit dissapointed by the last two albums. There is some good stuff on them, but nothing too new or exciting. Travelling Without Moving was my favourite album, and I keep on expecting that Jamiroquai will return to that style of music with each album release, and they don't. |
