To use a musical analogy, those who wish that Jamiroquai would return to the glory of Virtual Insanity will be gravely disappointed and the only way forward for a fan of Jay Kay or Em Ess is to accept that change is inevitable. For those of you unfamiliar with Minecraft, this is the game he is referring to: http://www.divergeuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/minecraft1.jpeg Where did this reviewer graduate from - the MTV school of tech journalism?
