did anyone hear this Sade tune I mentionned before: "slave song" on her latest live album? Absolutly brillant, check it: acoustic guitar intro of African Race (Abyssinians), deep bass, dub mix, great male backing vocals, striking lyrics.

Jamiroquai "drifting along" is also really nice (on travelling without moving, 1996)
