A Funk Odyssey

Jamiroquai's fifth studio album was released in the UK on 3 September 2001. As with most Jamiroquai releases, Japan got hold of the album a week earlier (29 August) together with "Do It Like We Used To Do" and "Deeper Underground" as bonus tracks.

All versions of the album also include as a hidden track "So Good To Feel Real", a funky jam recorded just before the album had to be delivered to the record company. The track on the album, which fades out after a couple of minutes was recorded in a single take and was never completed.

A Funk Odyssey is the first Jamiroquai album to be produced by Rick Pope.
