They say New Order does a better job combining Synths and Bass, but I would say this deserves an equal praise too on that lines

If you listen to their early albums and then hit Running in the Family there’s a clear difference from funk-led to pop-led. Very varied but I understand what you mean in the sense you can hear a track and very clearly say “that’s a Level 42” track - not a criticism at all! Very lucky to have them still touring!

Four geniouses on their own, who found each other and made the most perfect collab, each one contributing with their individual skills to form a masterpiece band. Amazing lyrics by Phil and Boon, great guitar licks and phrases by Boon, amazing and tight drumming by Phil, amazing bass by Mark, amazing keyboards by Mike (and the fifth member, Wally Badarou, another genious), amazing melodies and harmonies, and their amazing vocal arrangements (Mike and Mark's voice made to sound perfectly combined together, beautiful tones, interpretation, emotion and range). Level 42 is an encounter written in heaven. And their individual works are just as amazing. Rip Boon. You'll never be forgotten. Thank God I'm living at the same time these people are on Earth! Thank you guys, for writing the soundtrack of my life! You light up my days with your art.

I saw Mike Lindup perform at the Marc Bolan 35th Anniversary Concert in 2012. He hadn't aged much!

I remember not being able to sleep one night and seeing their video for Something About You on tv. It was so strange.

congratulations, do you want a medal for waiting until 2022 to actually check out an album of theirs?

No doubt, Mark King is a unique bass player, simply Phenomenon. (One of my favorites) I like mostly his early recordings - when he played in jazz-fusion influences. If you want to know someone like he, listen to [artist]Tetsuo Sakurai[/artist] (another great guy from Japan) :D

I bought loads of their original vinyl 12" singles back in the 1980's... from (Flying On The) Wings Of Love in '81 onwards. They made great party records. I loved their style and production... great songs well played. Love Games and Hot Water in the original 12 mixes are excellent standout dance tracks for me, which show we Brits could do anything that the guys stateside could do. Saw them play live back in '85 before they started to change the lineup... great gig. Great band.

Grrrr! I was listening to my Last.FM radio station and it played an excellent version of Sun Goes Down - it was mostly an instrumental version. In my excitement to find what the mix was called, I accidentally closed the page. Now my list doesn't show it, I can't find it on iTunes and I don't know what the mix was called. Help!?
