The Return Of The Space Cowboy – 30th Anniversary Jamiroquai SKU: 19802807141 Barcode: 0198028071413 36.00 £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Released Date: 18th October 2024 Buying Format: 2LP Coloured Vinyl Forthcoming Pre Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info This October Jamiroquai celebrates the 30th anniversary of ‘The Return Of The Space Cowboy’. Their second album, it will be reissued as a double-LP set on 140g “moon grey” vinyl and includes Michael Gray’s Good Vibe Zone edit of ‘Space Cowboy’ – which has never been released on a physical product. The packaging has also been re-designed for this anniversary release including foil enhancement of the original cover design. ‘The Return Of The Space Cowboy’ is the follow up album to the band’s huge 1993 debut, ‘Emergency On Planet Earth’. Selling over 3 million copies globally, ‘Emergency On Planet Earth’ put the band on the map with their distinctive sound standing them apart from other popular acts of the time. ‘The Return Of The Space Cowboy’ was released just one year later and was met with great critical and public acclaim. Certified Platinum in the UK, Japan and France, it achieved chart success in multiple countries and spawned the single ‘Space Cowboy’ which remains one of their biggest tracks to date. Critically the album was lauded with Rolling Stone saying “Jamiroquai parlay jazzy soul pop so tight it crackles… Nowadays, when most funk comes out of cans, Jamiroquai’s live spark glows”, The Guardian said “… this second album sounds like vintage Stevie Wonder and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, but Kay’s vocals are as snappy and engaging as his extrovert persona” and Q magazine said it “combines intricate arrangements with several long, free-form workouts crammed with virtuoso performances”. For many, this album is defined by some of the most complex songwriting the band have ever produced and Jay Kay called it “one of our most creative and accomplished albums”. The process of making the album came with many challenges. Having to recruit a new drummer (after Nick Van Gelder failed to return from holiday), the band were met with second-album syndrome with Kay proclaiming since that lyrics weren’t coming “… because suddenly I wasn’t homeless, I had everything I needed. So I found myself creating problems to write about.” The songwriting process was complex for the band as Jay Kay was often dissatisfied with the results, leading songs to be scrapped or rewritten, but half-way through recording Kay wrote ‘Space Cowboy’, a song which reflects darker times during the recording session, and it became the catalyst of creative inspiration helping them finish the record. On this 30th anniversary edition of the album Space Cowboy gets a modern dance makeover courtesy of DJ Michael Gray, shedding new light on the track and emphasising it’s already infectious groove. The album built on the success of ‘Emergency On Planet Earth’ and Jamiroquai have become one of the UK’s most pioneering and ground breaking bands of the past 30 years. Pushing boundaries and bringing jazz and funk to a mainstream audience, their sound is not only unique, but immediately recognisable.
