The album cover of Travelling Without Moving, consisting of a close-up of a yellow emblem with green, white and red stripes above it, resembling the logo of luxury car manufacturer Ferrari S.p.A., on a metal screen mesh. A silhouette man with buffalo horns is imprinted on it, a character that is displayed on all early Jamiroquai album covers, up to A Funk Odyssey, where it appears to fall into disuse. The band name and album title are displayed on top.

Travelling Without Moving is the third studio album by English funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai, released on 28 August 1996 in Japan, then on 9 September 1996 in the United Kingdom under Sony Soho Square. Front-man Jay Kay intended for the album to have a more universal style, revolving around "cars, life and love".[1] Critics have generally praised the album for being more focused and refined than the band's previous work, while others panned its lyrics and found the album too derivative. Its visual concept of sports cars received backlash from press, as it contradicted Kay's professed environmental beliefs.

The album was Jamiroquai's American breakthrough. It marked the band's first entry in the US Billboard 200 chart at number 24. In the UK, it peaked at number two. Its singles "Virtual Insanity", "Cosmic Girl" and "Alright" entered the top-ten in the UK singles chart. In the US, "Alright" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 78, while "Cosmic Girl" and "High Times" were in the top-ten in the Dance Club Songs charts. The music video for "Virtual Insanity" contributed to the album's success. Travelling Without Moving sold over 8 million copies worldwide, holding the Guinness World Records as the best-selling funk album in history. The album was reissued in 2013 in remastered form with bonus material.

This is the final release for Stuart Zender with the band, as he quit 2 years later in 1998 for various reasons.
