Was born in 1996, please can someone tell me who's this? I'd like to listen to them. Thank you.

It's Jamiroquai.

This video is for: "Virtual Insanity".

The video to : "Automaton" is also worth a watch in my opinion.

I really love this cover of virtual insanity.

I know it's almost unrelated to the discussion because you're talking about the music video, but how often is Jamiroquai brought up?

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I was very skeptical. You did not disappoint.

I remember my mind being blown away by a TV segment that explained how the practical effect was achieved.

Not sure if this is the video you're referencing, but it explained it for me: https://youtu.be/MzwY7ii582Y

Isn't this just Pasttime Paradise by Stevie Wonder?

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm a fan of both. I don't hear it. Different key, different progression. What are you hearing that I'm not? Also, IMO it's absolutely impossible to not be influenced by Stevie if you play this type of music, so there's that.

It's a stretch, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. 😀

While you're checking out the video for virtual insanity, also check out the one for Canned Heat, another great tune and another great video from Jamiroquai. I was only a kid then, but I'd turn on MTV in the morning before school to watch videos back in like 97-99, and these videos popped up every so often, and they had a lasting impact.

Check out also the Wikipedia article on Sterno, sometimes referred to as Canned Heat, because people would drink the shit to get fucked up and would ultimately die, and the coroner would rule it a death by canned heat.
