2001: A Funk Odyssey [Test Pressing Edition] - Jamiroquai - Picture of My Life

Picture of My Life;
Though many songs are the same length as they appeared on the final album configuration, a few were extended cuts. "Feel So Good" and "You Give Me Something" featured longer introductions with percussion, while "Twenty Zero One" expanded by over three minutes. Several of the mixes were different; "Little L" featured extra percussion while "Corner of the Earth", "Picture of My Life" and "Black Crow" featured different variations of the vocals, either by phrasing or enunciation. "Do It Like We Used to Do" was featured in an edited form, and "So Good to Feel Real" was the only song left untouched. Interestingly, "Main Vein" featured no lead vocals and only the background singers. A popular fan interpretation is that this song was written about Denise van Outen, Jay's ex-girlfriend, but from her perspective; the song would have thus featured a female vocalist and would showcase the same fight shown in "Little L" but from Denise's perspective. The test pressing also featured three interludes. The first featured Jay in an electronically manipulated monologue asking why Jay would want to "shut down the funk assembly unit." The second interlude was a beatbox track which was later used in the single "Feels Just Like It Should", while the third featured Strauss' "The Blue Danube" being faded in slowly at a low volume. A case of (possibly intentional) synchronicity occurs when the test pressing is played to Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
