British, jazz and funk. This was the first song I heard Level 42 play on my now defunked radio station Beacon Radio 303 back in the 80s. Mark King inspired me to pick up the bass guitar.

Literally makes the band, they sound like a pub band with Pete, sorry but it's just true. Maybe if he had more than one fill, it would help, but he always plays like he's just playing by himself, never locked in, always trying to be clever on his own rather than locking in with Mark.. Just listen to how Husband builds and crescendos, his creative use of cymbals, he's just a fucking great musician, he actually listens to the rest of the band... I literally cringe any time i hear L42 with Pete on drums, you just know he's going to flub every single rhythmically important section, usually fucking up a fill when he only knows one...

And somewhere, in the vocal harmonies, some type of flux which reminds me the moving of the sea. It's a rare combination, Level 42, of a sense of beauty and fascinating ambiances, each time different, each time re-invented.

I remember seeing Gary Husband play with John McLaughlin, in 2008 I think, and the way he switched from keyboards to a single snare for a drum duel at the end of the set was a highlight of the entire gig. There may not be a record-buying public anymore, but it'd be nice if Level 42 kept making records of new songs etc. The song "man" is one I associate with Husband's former contribution to the band, but really all their records, bar the sirens ep, had some song writing gems that makes me say: "no other pop band has ever written a song quite like this b4, have they?" And that's what makes them both interesting and (no less notably) tuneful in a novel way.

@lepecqbenoit47384 жыл бұрын
How can a man play this tense and controled flow with his bass ? It's like something tribal revisited with grace and virtuosity. As the band had changed since their debut, this primary flux hasn't change. It says: "Straight forward !". Level 42 is the type of science-fiction band which couldn't have survived if he hadn't be very grounded.

Just my humble opinion but if Level 42 had still did music like this with a few songs to play in the mainstream charts from the The Pursuit Of Accidents Album like The Chinese Way/Are You Hearing (What I Hear & Weave Your Spell then Phil Gould would've still stayed in the band but he was not happy with where their music was going & i understand this all to well as many solo acts & band's had to water their sound down & made it more comercial to get into the charts & later on when successful they could then pick & choose what songs they wanted to write, though this happened only rarely... A perfect example was the Scottish Band Wet Wet Wet & even their first albums title was a dig at what they had to do to get into the charts with the " Popped In Souled Out " Album which was a very clever play on words but the problem was that fan's prefered their music as is & it is very (or was) difficult to be able to play your own music your way as you had the Record Company on your back all the time looking for Hit Singles to release & its a bitter trade off that many eventually walked away from... Though it was Phil who wanted to leave sooner it was Boon who left first out of nervous exhaustion & i still dont know how they could & still can practically tour non stop with about a 1 year break then back on the road again & i dont know how the rest of the band didnt split up through being burnt out but this was expected of solo acts & bands & the reason why many took drugs & alcohol to cope with the constant touring/going on Tv Shows to play their latest song/Radio Interviews/Music Magazine Interviews then off to do a Sound Check before the gig & then on to the next city or country straight after that gig & repeat the whole procedure all over again... What amazes me even more is the way many solo acts & band's played specific songs all the time & being in 2 professional bands you have no idea how many times you can play a song of a certain period or career & to always be up for playing it is difficult to do & is another reason why certain member's leave or the band split up... Can you imagine how many times Level 42 have played all of their most famous song's & all the other song's on their albums... Take " Love Games " " Hot Water " & " The Chinese Way " as just a few examples & when you take into consideration the initial work it took to come up with those song's the first time around, then record them & then play them on Tv Shows or Live Gigs at that time & through out their career that is just phenominal that they still enjoy playing them as you are talking about thousand upon thousand of times they've played them Live & thats why the best bands make it & keep going as they have that extra something special that keeps them going & Level 42 have got to be one of the hardest working bands I've been a fan of since they first started out... As they rarely take huge long breaks & are more often than not back out on tour playing Live & to those who think well its all easy " its not " as you have to sacrifice so much to keep going & this is why my generation & the one's before mine appreciate the solo act's & band's that did this as it was a 24/7 job & yet they keep going on & playing for the fan's & i can't thank them (& the other acts who did this) enough as those fan's knew also how hard this was to do yet some people took it for granted... Definitely one of my favourite band's & thats saying something when think of all the solo act's & band's that were about when the Music Industry was still alive & well & we thought it would never stop, so it makes those solo acts/band's & song's much more special now that the Music Industry is all but dead but we still have their music & the memories of such great times seeing them Live & we need to keep passing music on to each new generation or it will sadly be forgotten... As i think though it'd be great to have new acts we have such a huge wealth of amazing music from all the different genres from the past that we can still keep alive by passing it on to the younger generations & it'll hopefully have a domino effect that will ensure that the music of the past still lives on... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stat safe & healthy wherever you are in this world... .....
