Travelling without Moving

Traveling without Moving is the third album by Jamiroquai. Released in 1996, this album features the international hit single "Virtual Insanity". The album also has a more diverse sound than previous albums, with more instrumental tracks, and a greater electronic influence, evident in songs such as "Alright", which mixed new synthetic sounds with shades of acid-jazz. Around this time Jay Kay's love of sportscars reached a peak, as reflected by the Ferrari-esque logo adorning the album cover and engine noises on the title track. This led some to accuse him of selling out on the environmental message of his previous albums. The title track "Travelling without Moving" appropriately introduces a new high-octane sound which features strongly in later albums. This is also the last album with bassist Stuart Zender.

Most versions have either one or the other, while some have both tracks as tracks 13 and 14, respectively. All versions do not list which bonus tracks will appear on the record, but some have a different back cover, featuring a pseudo-Ferrari parody instead of the metal mesh of the more standard release.
