Really great band, I can't stop listening to them lately. Top songwriting and by far some of the tightest musicians I've ever heard. So SLICK as well! Plus they have (had) a world class bass player, Stuart Zender.

Any fans in here?

I always liked them, but never went beyond seeing their singles on the TV.

Never was impressed by them, but I was only exposed to their hits, so maybe I could change my mind listening to their other stuff.
However, I am not that crazy on "new" funk stuff, I am more into the classics like The Meters, James Brown, Maceo Parker, early Kool & the Gang, Funkadelic, Eddie Hazel...nonetheless Vampisoul has some interesting new artists under its wings, fortunately sounding very "70s".
Regarding the eighties : the funk-punk of Gang of Four, James Chance and the Contortions, Fishbone, early RHCP.

No, this one bores me to death.
 
The first track you posted is disco/funk and doesn't do anything to me, a voice that I can't bear and very weak compared to the tenors of funk.
 
If you want "serious" new funk bands, check out Speedometer, Lefties soul connection, Sharon Jones & the Dap-kings, or the Sweet Vandals.

I love their first two albums. Great funk/acid jazz band.
 
Bands like Down to the Bone and Incognito are excellent too, if you like Jamiroquai's early albums:

Good band. I'm not a big fan but I like some of their songs, especially the singles from Travelling without moving.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Can't stand Jim Iroquois but I do like Stevie Wonder's music from the 70s.
