Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity [30th Anniversary Edition]

30th anniversary issue of Jamiroquai’s most iconic cut Virtual Insanity. The song remains a defining 90s anthem known for its futuristic, social-critique theme and innovative, stationary-floor music video. Replicating the original track list - it features Do You Know Where You're Coming From (Original Mix), Bullet  and nothing the single edit and album version of Virtual Reality.

Few songs from the late 90s managed to sound simultaneously utopian and paranoid quite like Jamiroquai's 'Virtual Insanity', a track that wrapped ecological anxiety and technological dread inside an absurdly slick jazz-funk strut. Thirty years on, it remains remarkably strange for a global pop hit. Jay Kay glides across bouncing basslines and gleaming Rhodes arrangements with irritating charisma, while the groove itself never stops twitching and mutating beneath him. 'Do You Know Where You're Coming From' goes further into sophisticated acid jazz territory through restless percussion and rich harmonic movement, then 'Bullet' adds a tougher funk bite. Some records become trapped by nostalgia, but this one still sounds futuristic.
