Corner Of The Earth Full Video NOW ONLINE!
 Hello everyone, :jay1:
Hope everyone had a nice weekend, mine was so so. Got some good news, the Official Site has FINALLY posted the tracklisting for the "COTE" CD2 tracklisting AND the posted the full "COTE" video in "J-Funk", I must say after watching the video, it was a great breath of air to see Jay not doing the Playboy role like the previous three videos. I especially love the part when the sun eclipses and the solar system surrounds Jay, man, what a great video with such great visuals (Reminded me of the movies "Never Cry Wolf", "White Fang" and "My Side Of the Mountain")! But I have two questions: 1. What Indian tribe is represented in Jay's headdress? 2. Where is the Band? I know, the second question is too obvious, but I would of liked to see them in any facet of the video, maybe dress them up like the trees and have them playing their instruments.. ..gosh that would be weird! Anyway, enjoy the video and keep up the great work CosmicMouse & Bear! Peace!

Thanx mate! 
I have just seen it 4 times!!! It's so great! :good:
And I must admit that in this case I don't miss the other bandmembers. It's a so intimate atmosphere... it's all good for me to see only one person in it, interacting with the nature and the animals. Other persons would disturb the intimacy and jay looks so great with this indian look! It fits perfectly to him, Jamiroquai and the song. :jay6:
I am away... I have to see it one more time!!!

After watching the 10 second extract of COTE Video on funkin.net last week, I was so inspired that I made the following review (see here under).
Now that I watched the full lenght video, it seems that my first feeling has been justified.
I love the begining of the video. It reminds me of "Contact", the SF film back in 1997. The first pictures are the same: you travel through the whole universe and then see the galaxies, the suns, the planetes focused into the eye of a child.
So here is how I felt about the video:
 Some dreams do come true!
Has our great sorcerer JK heard the many prayers from his desperate fans who could not bear the twisted  trend of the latest videos?
The video of COTE is a real treat! I find it original, beautiful, meaningful, deep and true to the spirit of Jamiroquai.
Eventually, JK "gives us something that nobody else can give".  
The Indian  issues are so connected to Jamiroquai! The Indian look suits JK so well! This video had to be filmed sooner or later.
The video of COTE represents both:
- a movement back to the roots = the love of Nature, like in EOPE
and
- a progression = this love of Nature is no longer the reason for fighting, but blossoms into a personal inner relationship which enriches the individual
From the warm bossa-nova style of COTE, we could have expected to see an Indian in the South American Rain Forest. But we are set in the snow of North America, where the true warmth comes from communion between the Human and his environment.
To use the image of the Indian chief for COTE (the most beautiful track on AFO for my taste) is a powerful message.
The intimate atmosphere is suggested by the forest. JK seems to have a kind of spiritual retreat: the trees isolate him from his brothers. This forest, both dark and pure, may stand for the consciousness of the Human being. The animals which come to him may represent the different sides of his own personality.
The sun is not seen directly, but rays of light are shining through the trees, like the symbol of hope or like a revelation to come.
I find it quite reassuring to see that JK manages to express his soul in such a powerful and beautiful way.
What a relief after the (boring) materialistic inclinations of the  last videos!
Talking about America, someone on the French site mentioned “Dance with the Wolves” after watching the video of COTE. I can imagine that this video could have some success over there…
From the marketing point of view, this video is quite clever too. It will strengthen the recognition effect about Jam-“Iroquois” for those who, if this is still possible, have only a vague idea about this talented group.
Although I was hoping to see the other members of Jamiroquai in this video, I now have no regret.
The video of COTE functions so well with a single character. Indeed, it intensifies the relationship between the Human and Nature. For instance, the bird of prey (eagle?, falcon?) has been filmed very close. You can see its eyes, as if its look was responding to JK’s look, as if their relationship was defined in terms of equality. Very very nice symbol!
It reminds me of these words in “Use the Force”: I can do Eagle Eye, circling I the sky...”

Glad you enjoyed it Butterfly!
Yes, this "cool" video (because of the snow) is just what we need today to stand the hot summer temperature.
Take care

Hey "sunny" 
the link doesn't work on my computer... 
But you can also watch the COTE video on the official website in the J.Funk section - if you are registered.
Your review is great!!! :good:

mouse, the link doesn't work on your computer because you are on a MAC. sunrayvibe's link goes to a Windows Media Player-File. That is why it doesn't work..
