"Stillness in Time" is a song by British

UK Dance Chart
and number 14 in Scotland.

Background

Three main versions of the track exist: a radio edit, which runs at 3:43; the main album version, which runs at 4:11; and the extended vinyl version, which runs at 6:13 and appears on the vinyl version of The Return of the Space Cowboy.

The song was later covered by Scottish DJ

Radio 1 Established 1967
, which was released in 2007. This version features snippets of the Jamiroquai original; however, Jamiroquai is not credited on the release.

Music video

At least two edits of the music video exist—one for a UK release, and another one for an international release; the latter is still airing on some European music television channels.[2] The music video, directed by Earle Sebastian, prominently features the entire band throughout (unusual for Jamiroquai videos, which typically tend to focus almost exclusively on singer Jay Kay). The video takes place in the Australian outback, with Kay claiming temperatures were around 110 °F (43 °C) during filming.[3] The video intercuts between the band dancing around and brief moments of the band playing their respective instruments. The band's didgeridoo player player, Wallis Buchanan, can be seen wearing a t-shirt with the Aboriginal flag.[4]

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine

NME felt its "fractal flute solos verge on cocktail bar friendliness."[7]
