* WhatCouldHaveBeen: If Jay Kay had been successful in becoming lead singer for the Brand New Heavies, who knows what musical history might have been made.
** ''A Funk Odyssey'' was originally a longer, more experimental album that would have synced up to 2001: A Space Odyssey but wasn't finished by the time Sony made them make changes to it. "Feel So Good", "You Give Me Something", "Stop Don't Panic" and "Twenty Zero One" were all of extended length; "Main Vein" had no vocal track; "Do It Like We Used To Do" featured instead of "Love Foolosophy" (which hadn't been written yet), and the album featured three interludes to push it into pseudo-ConceptAlbum territory.

* UrbanLegend: A Funk Odyssey's Test Pressing version syncs up perfectly with 2001: A Space Odyssey. The final version of the album doesn't, due to removing interludes, shortening songs, and adding "Love Foolosophy" (a newly written song for a single) in place of "Do It Like We Used To Do", which Sony insisted on. It is highly likely this was intentional, because of the album title and the various homages to the movie featured on it. The album's title, which at that point was 2001: A Funk Odyssey before Sony made them cut it down. The album also includes a song called Twenty Zero One, and one of the interludes on the test pressing was The Blue Danube waltz - taken directly from the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which the band also used as a live interlude too. The band's idea of syncing the album is believed to have been done in reference to the similar theory of Pink Floyd's TheDarkSideOfTheMoon syncing up with TheWizardOfOz.
