Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, mine was perpetually
gluttonful, lots of drowsy-induced turkey and good times! Anyway,
here's a newsbrief about something previously discussed on
JamiroTalk.net that I think deserves worth noting on the Group:

In the past, Jamiroquai's catalogue of new, old and unreleased
copyrighted material was posted online at ASCAP & BMI websites, to
ensure proper dispensing of royalities to specific songs. It appears
some new/old unreleased Jamiroquai songs have been added to the
already big stable of known studio tracks. I know there was a topic
about this in the past, but here are the provisional songs found, all
with pretty all the bandmembers and JK's writing credits, a majority
having JK's primary writing credits, I put some "NEW" next to the new
songs I noticed in addition:

NEW JAMI SONGS:
- Ain't No
- Bite Our Style
- Confusion
- Crazy Life
- Don't Have To Prove It (NEW)
- Heaven
- How It Should Be
- In The Sunshine
- Jamiroquai (No kidding! Very Happy, must be a EOPE era outtake?!? )
- Sunshine In Your Sky (NEW)
- Togetherland (NEW)
- Two Completely Different Thing (NEW)

I would say about 75% of these songs were probably
composed/recorded/continue to sit in the vault/etc. during the
"Sony/BMG years" of Jamiroquai, but some of these new song notes are
quite interesting! Fellow JamiroTalker and fan Andrew pointed out
some interesting facts that he could derive from the songwriting notes
from a reply on my same topic about this on Talk:

Interesting find, though with these songs, if you take note of the
BMI Work# (and those of the other known Jamiroquai songs) I think you
can slot these 'new' songs into their respective era and sort of
figure out a year or time when they would have been registered with
this BMI group.

Some of these unknown song titles could well be demos or finished
tracks that weren't regarded suitable to be on an album or whatever,
but then if you look a little harder, some of these 'new' songs aren't
new at all.

For instance, 'Bite Our Style' is actually a Missy Elliott track from
'97 that contains a sample from Morning Glory...

That 'Jamiroquai' track, if you look at the songwriting credits,
contains input from Joe Wheeler, the guy who was sampled on High Times...

Also, nothing has been registered with a BMI Work# later than either
of Runaway or Radio, so I would think these unknown titles are old
songs. One that does come very close though is 'Going Deeper', which
has a # not much before... Could this be the 'Gozilla is a killer'
version of Deeper Underground? Maybe it wasn't registered until
recently? I do remember watching one of the 'Greatest Hits' interviews
where Jay mentions listening to it 'just the other day' or something
(I think he does a bit of the riff in the interview if I remember right)

Interestingly, Max Beesley is listed as co-songwriter on two of these
tracks, 'Heaven' and 'Life Force' - He's the guy who's listed in the
TWM liner notes as doing the percussion on Funktion. Perhaps these are
two tracks from the same recording session...?

Brent, those titles you've done in bold (except 'Two Completely
Different Thing' - which looks like its a Dynamite era track) all have
#'s that would place them in the EOPE era. If you look at the number
for Togetherland, it's directly before TYTD.

There you go, I hope you found that interesting, thanks for reading.
See you soon with more news! Happy Holidays!
