At this stage they owe us a Buffalo Man only album cover. Inside the jewel case holding the disc underneath the image should be a blow up of Jay's bum from the Lifeline clip -- scribbled with a tiny note sorry for the delay U.S.A.

They didn't have a US distributor by the time they released the album everywhere but the US -- obviously they're going back to a platform release for America -- hope they make the American edition special somehow.

How do you know there is no North America planned release?
You know someone from Mercury? It could be true.
But just goes back to the belief that they deliberately boycott U.S.
(I would too if Donald Trump is running for president!) Laughing Laughing

If they pick 4 states: New York, San Fran, L.A. and Chicago.
Hoping at least Chicago.

Yeah, being a 23 year old in Los Angeles, CA who is a Jamiroquai lover is very rare. I've gotten some friends pretty turned on to it, though. For friends of friends who are just more into Top40s stuff or into lots of TRANCE, Jamiroquai's music seems to just go in one ear and come right out the other as if it just doesn't register to them. I can't understand how incapable a lot of people are with critical thinking and simply having a mind of their own.

Apparently Jamiroquai lost their US post-TWM steam because their next album took too long to come out. Therefore, I wonder if Jay didn't scrap Symphonized and released it in 98, would that have a had large impact on the music industry on a US and even global scale?

If Jay didn't kick Stu out, would we not be contaminated with Drakes and Rihannas? Would the US have more open and sophisticated taste on the mainstream level? Either way I guess it's very sad to see how much influence MTV has and people cannot seek out or judge music they truly like instead of being a drone robot.


Agree on all fronts!! Well said. Idea I often wonder if the lack of Jamiroquai presence in the US (in contrast to the other crap that is forced down our throats) is an effort to 'dumb-down' society.

On a brighter side, I also wonder if they're trying to stimulate the travel industry Wink by keeping Jamiroquai out of the US. Because I now have to travel to Spain, yes Spain, in order to see my favorite band. (How horrible! lol) I have to say, it actually seems to be working out perfectly, since I've been wanting to go to Europe forever, and have always wanted to see Jamiroquai... so why not see them IN Europe?

As you can tell, I am very happy and excited about this.

I really don't think one year difference from Symphonized to Synkronized really made the difference. Shit happens. People change their taste. The album is different.
And possibly the radio didn't like post -TWM, or JMQ didn't try to market Synkronized well enough.

A lot is by chance. And a lot of it really is in the control of the radio stations, and I'm sure a lot of politics. "Hey Mr. DJ put a record on..."

I hate it when people lump all the current music into one category.
I can't stand Drake. As for Rihanna -I think she's pretty good. Wink

i feel your frustration guys Confused
it just boggles my mind how RDLS was released in Canada and Mexico but not the US

last year there was an article that mention about promoting RDLS in america and it would be released in 2011...to be optimistic, there is still time before 2011 is over

i already bought RDLS online and i'm pretty sure others have as well....what i am really waiting for is for them to announce tour dates for north america (of course they have to promote RDLS)

i have a question for the american fans (hoping someone can answer this), in the past when they promote their music in north america, are their albums and tours usually delayed here?

the reason i asked is because i haven't been a fan for long and curious to know

RDLS has become a phanton album for the US. Sure you can purchase it as an Import from retailers here who offer foreigin merchandise but those of us who want to support all domestic Jamiroquai product to let US distributors know Jay and the boys still matter to the cult/die hard American base -- now have to wait to see if and when the decide to release a follow-up which I'm sure they will -- in their new contract to have a clause for them to have a US physical release.

I honestly don't know how to feel anymore. The minute I get back to loving Jamiroquai as I need as a teenager -- their domestic (US) relevancy rears its ugly head.

RDLS won't be released in U.S.
Probably determined it wouldn't do well here.

@Funkyette -there can be a delay in album release.
I think where their strongest market is expected it's released first.
But acts like Anastacia is big in U.K., someone I've never heard of, but hails from Chicago/New York. So I think it just depends.

Maybe they'll release the next one in U.S.
But I think they'll take a break in between.
