Hope it's true, that it have the Jamiroquai watermark. |
Despite not agreeing with TWM era comparisons, I sense we are going to have something in the likes of it. |

sorry for the slightly 'gushing' posts, it's just I'm SO HAPPY, regardless if Automaton is good or bad in the end, that Virgin EMI made things right with releasing Automaton nearly simultaneously around the world, after the RDLS debacle for the states release, this means so much for me and my fellow American JamiroFans. I'M SO FRICKIN' HAPPY!!!! YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!! _________________

If anyone was wondering, the Automaton single available on the Google Play Music store is Constant Bit Rate 320kbps Joint Stereo MP3 and about 11Mb...
I noticed another MP3 doing the rounds today was Variable Bit Rate 213kbps Joint Stereo and about 7.3Mb. No idea where it originated from. Can't speak for iTunes or Spotify because I don't use them. _________________

Nice work zeioIIDX, I reckon what you've got down is pretty-well right, but true to form, it's not easy to make out every word JK sings! I have a feeling the bits in bold are slight corrections, but see what you think...

So here are the lyrics as I can interpret them lol. I had trouble making out a word or two so this might not be 100% correct but enjoy nonetheless!
Am I love? Every heart is beatin'
I'm all love! Uh-can't you feel me feelin'?
Take my hand! Become like a junkie.
I'm an ice-cold man.
I'm an ice-cold man. *distorted*
Why am I cryin' for you?
All this love I've felt for you
Has gone away to another place. (It's a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world
But they've given me eyes without a face.
I'd steel/steal/steer the moon on server/silver lights.
Remind myself I am someone.
My soul is low and raw/wrought tonight. (I'm automaton)
I'm so tough. Uh-can't you see me runnin'?
See, I can touch. Can you feel me comin'?
I see the world and cry for freedom.
These metal eyes, they can't disguise
The fact that I need something to believe in.
But they're not crying for you!
I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space. (It's a digital life)
Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place?
I power up, get my program set
And tilt my head toward the sun.
Inside I know, I'm null and void (I'm automaton)
Automaton (x4)
Hey, you got me down underground
Gettin' holed up in my cyber lounge
As if I had time to break that down. (Automaton)
Whatever you can do I can override/overwrite it
Got a million ways to synthesize it.
Digital android, I can fight it (Fight it out)
Automaton (It's a digital life)
Automaton (Digital life)
Automaton (A digital life)
Automaton
Feel like the man who fell to earth
But this is not where I belong.
They rule my life from a metal box that's windowless
And I wonder where it all goes wrong.
Maybe this dream will stay alive
But can the madness be undone?
Am I the new intelligence?
I'm automaton (x7)
It's a digital life (x2)
You know I need something I can hold onto, hold onto (You were all I knew)
I need something I can hold onto, hold onto (This was all I knew) |

That's a very useful piece of information, thanks Andrew |

... I like it.
It sounds like a much more mature take on Twenty Zero One (which I liked, but always found a little boring and static)
This has oodles of ideas chucked in! Lots of different things to appreciate and notice on each further listen.
My only comment - perhaps the single version for radio play should be slightly simpler - form wise? But hey! I don't care about it being too mainstream! |

I also like how angular the verse synth is - immediately visualise Jay dancing to it in his own 'angular' way.  |

Does anyone know, what is the difference between the Deluxe and the Standard edition CD?
(BTW so far the Delxue edition seems to be available for order only on the French version of Amazon.) _________________ "If it doesn’t sound good with just a keyboard and a voice or a guitar and a voice, drop it.” /Jay Kay/ |

I like it, it sounds exactly as I was expecting it to from the clip. I was a bit surprised by the 4/4 kick on the chorus but it's quite nice, a disco / house hybrid.
Definitely shades of Daft Punk / Tron / 80s "computer" music. I like all the blips and bleeps.
Hopefully the rest of the album sounds like this. I'm done with Jamiroquai trying to pretend the are the band they were; they might as well do something completely different. |

Not disappointed in this one bit - the music and visuals work perfectly together! All the little sounds effects make much more sense now.
I'd definitely put it up there with the best of Jamiroquai's other videos  _________________

Oh man, it's so great to see Jay's signature moves once again. He's still got it
Holy crap, they are selling a first batch of the album as signed copies! I still don't have Jay's signature so I HAVE to pre-order this!
