The Big Blue is also nice, but not as funky. The other albums is quite different I think. Does anyone know if Serra's soundtrack to 'The Last Battle' is available? /Lars-Ove (K) e-mail: love @ iar.se --- And I won't take no souvenirs No perfumed picture promises Because it's over And I ain't coming back Level 42 - It's Over ------------------------------ Subject: RE: Level42 Digest V97 #268 From: Mike Brooks Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 11:58:45 +0100 The 'As Years Go By' collection.....are these CD quality or just copies of the original vinyl recordings with scratches, etc?? Also, how do I get a copy and does it have to be paid for in US Dollars or what?

Does anyone remember Toyah Wilcox from the 80's??? Well, I'm going to be in her band for a gig at The Roadhouse in Covent Garden , London on Saturday 1st November.

"Lowdown" and "What You Won't Do For Love" ! Classic blusey tunes that sound as good today as they did when first released! The Hall and Oates songs are killer too! Ya got great taste in music, Dave!

Vargas" Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 23:28:42 -0500 Ok this one is for everyone who's interested in thr Toronto LevelFest. Email me with some suggestions for a place to have it, cool pubs, coffee shops, restaurants, anything. I would really appreciate if someone from Toronto would like to take charge of organizing the LevelFest, considering that I'm the only one not from around Toronto : ) So whoever thinks he/she is up for the challenge drop me some mail. Full of dreams and ...alone in Montreal... visions, Roberto ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Level42 Digest V97 #268 From: mark Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 23:30:06 -0400 Claude writes: > Has anyone heard the tribute album to Jeff Porcaro?

Being a big Toto fan as well, I read about it in the Toto Legend magazine and, as expected, they are big on it! I plan to get a copy of it soon and look forward to hearing this well-deserved tribute to one of the best drummers I have ever heard! What a tragic loss for the music world! By the way, his brothers Seve (keyboards) and Mike (bass) have put out their own CD as the Porcaro Brothers. I will be lookng for that one as well!

But, being a huge Icehouse fan, I do have to suggest their double cd remix album entitled "Full Circle". While some of the songs are a little too "techno" for me, there are some fine remixes such as: "Desdemona", "Colours" (Man of Colours), "Blue Noise" (Electric Blue), and the incredible "Great Southern Mix" (Great Southern Land). I highly recommend it to anyone into Icehouse as well as remixes.
