I remember distinctly in a 1988 issue of Modern Drummer, that Neil Peart of Rush really liked Phil Goulds drumming, which I thought was itself notable. "A good drummer that I like who plays simply is Phil Gould, who used to be with Level 42. He plays very simple, R&B-influenced drumming, but when he pulls a fill out it'll be a beautiful fill. And his feel is great. If you try to tap along with their downbeat-on-the-3 type of songs, you'll just about break your hand trying to come down behind the beat as much as he does. He has that feel down so well. It's very satisfying for me to listen to from a drummer's point of view or from a music fan's point of view. It feels great, has tremendous authority, and has the spice of a great little fill leaping out of it."

Well yes and no . He had a rawness and kept time . but some of the later drummers were more active and faster but not necessarily better than Phil Gould . Its all good level 42, early days, during this 1986 concert and currently(well sort of currently , imho its gets a little too crazy type jazzy the most recent and current level 42....whatever)

Agreed. L42 was never the same again, until 1994 when Phil returned for the album Forever Now (Studio only). That album sound came quite close to their original sound. Very sharp and crisp. Gary Husband (too much force and power imo) is good, but nowhere to Phil as drummer and musician.

After six or seven years of backing up King's hyperthumbs, he absolutely had it down what to do. My only complaint....he missed the effective offbeat snare before the second verse of World Machine!! He seems to try and make up for it with an extra drumroll afterwards. I saw you Phil!!! Ha ha. :)

I like Mark playing his Jay Dee instead of the Status along with Trace Elliot amplification instead of Ashdown, it's a more ballsy sound and although Gary Husband was okay at the drums the new guy is way too busy, Phil Gould had that special lock. This was the groups best incarnation IMHO.

To each his own...I love the new drummer's sound. I also loved Gary's sound too, and in some areas I think he does better than the new guy. As for Phil...also very talented, but I think he pulls his punches too much (probably reflects your theory that the new guy is "too busy"). I like the new drumming sound though because it's more layered and intrinsic, which fits well with the band's pop-jazz sound (I feel like they carried some of the spirit that Steely Dan started in 1970s, and that band was famous for having the best session drummers on their records)

The 1980s i remember for the most part as an apolitical era in music . It was refreshing to hear some lyrics from some of the level 42 songs here that are "anti-establishment" . One of the few bands i can rember of the top of my head who were critical of "the system" were the Clash and the Dead Kennedys . Also the Pretenders had a few lines here and there that were critical but not much . If i remember correctly the Sex Pistols were already passe about 1981 which was replaced by post punk and new wave(not to be confused with the new wave arthouse films coming out of France, Italy, Germany in the late 1950's through to the early 1970s) . Loved the pistols version of God Save the Queen which came out i think as early as 1976 in the UK . Imo , the pistols gstq had some very perceptive anti status quo lyrics . Musically it induced primal dance and movement in me and so many others . It put the roll back into rock, rock n roll . Not since Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode was their a song that made you want to dance . I think people were getting tired of the complex rococo rock guitar solos . I mean even tacky disco music was more fun in retrospect to dragging the dead horse of classic rock into the late 1970s
