Some folks might think eternally behatted Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay needs to get his time machine fixed.

After all, it does seem to be stuck on 1979. And as a result, his sixth CD Dynamite -- like most of his discs -- sounds like the product of an alternate history in which Kay wrote Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and got Stevie Wonder to sing it.

Of course, like most of his albums, it's also chock full of infectious grooves, supple melodies, finger-funking basslines, wukka-wukka guitars, string synths and some of the most authentic old-school dance workouts since the glory days of Motown, Chic, Funkadelic and Philly soul.

Maybe that time machine is working OK after all.
