Level 42 Artist Snapshot:

The jazzy pop/funk of British band Level 42 earned them European chart success throughout the 1980s and into the '90s. Starting out as more of a jazz fusion group, they wound up moving definitively over to the pop/R&B side, with a smooth-jazz flavor setting them apart from other English R&B acts of the era. The band, propelled by the distinctive slap-bass work of leader Mark King, broke up in the mid-'90s, but by the start of the next decade, they were performing live again, and finally released an album of new material in 2006.

Title Note

Level 42: Mike Lindup (vocals, keyboards); Mark King (vocals, bass); Boon (guitar); Phil Gould (drums).

Additional personnel: Gary Barnacle (saxophone); Wally Badarou (Synclavier, background vocals).

Producers: Wally Badarou, Level 42, Ken Scott.

Although it looks like Level 42 will never make another album, at least we have one which seems destined to endure. Mark King had already proved he could slap his bass better than almost anybody; now it was his turn to demonstrate his prowess as a classy songwriter. He succeeded in buoyant fashion with every track, very funky, very poppy and at times upliftingly wonderful, especially 'Something About You' and 'Coup D'Etat'. The winner for emotion, however, is the heartfelt 'Leaving Me Now'. Perfection, deliberately made for the age of the CD.
