And I like the FUNK of the 70's too! Any Level fan worth his/her salt would be. AWB, the Commodores, War, the Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire.... 90's music was mostly crap. It began with MC HAMMER and ended with N'SYNC. Who'd have thunk Kraftwerk and James Brown would be completely to blame for the state of popular music in the 90's? They inspired garbage and yet were brilliant themselves. But the 90's were not all bad. Jamiroquai might well have been worth living through the nervous 90's for. Nine Inch Nails did some interesting things, at least for a while. Incognito as well. And 80's bands who stuck around did well too. Pet Shop Boys actually got better with age. "Bilingual" is a truly amazing album. Duran Duran lapsed in quality until about '93 when the Wedding Album was realeased and then "Meddazzaland" came out and it was even better than "Rio". Depeche Mode (whom I could never tolerate that well) did not improve, but they kept doing that formula that worked for them so well. People still attend DM concerts by the tens of thousands. The The released "Dusk", "Hanky Panky" and "Naked Self"...all of which kick ass compared with what The The did in the 80's. And LEVEL 42.....Garunteed was brilliant and Forever Now was even better! In MY humble opinion, Forever Now is much better than WM and SATS, and might even be better than RITF. Despite the loss of Murphy and the Boon bros, L42 managed to keep it together and grow while remaining loyal to the spirit of their Music throughout the 90s'. And if you thought the '90s were crap...you wait. In 9 years all those N'Sync fans will be complaining about how popular music went down the toilet recently! It only gets worse, and we only get older. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Level42 Digest V2000 #38 From: "Pascal Koolen" Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:02:50 +0200 > From: "Adam Hankinson" > Pascal, I tried to help you out by congratulating you on the "Just Like > This" track..

Hmmm,Nigel,yes,i have it,but i think it's Alan,he's wearing many times sunglasses at live gigs. Hey,i can't also identify "some" guys in the TCOY video,i'm not sure if it's Alan. To Norman: i have included some samples of Mark's bass-solo at the Night of the proms & samples of Peace (Strike) in it, sure it's related now.

Why do y= ou think he put I feel free on his INFLUENCES album! I bet there are many other singing bass players out there who were= also influenced by Jack Bruce. You make it sound like there is something wrong with Cream. Eric Clapton , Jack Bruce and Ginger= Baker, yeah that sounds like a real crappy line up to me, those guys are never going to amout to anything! As a matter of= fact Jack Bruce also appears on Gary Husbands insructional drum video which also features guess who ? Mark King. Get your facts straight next time.Bob ------------------------------ Subject: New MP3s Added From: Daniel James Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 17:40:57 -0800 I decided to break tradition and actually update the mp3 site. I've added both the Radio Edit of The Sun Goes Down (featuring Omar) and the Tin Tin Out mix (so that you can hear for yourselves that it in no way resembles Level 42 or anything they've done). I also added the Sisa mix of Something About You.

Nigel. ------------------------------ Subject: I feel free/ article From: "willem en kirsti" Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 11:51:56 +0200 For those who are interested, last week I mentioned an article in which Mark stated that the first album he ever bouhgt was I feel free / the Cream. This was a Durch article in a magazine called "Music Maker". To my very own suprise I found another article with the same statement.... Thanx to Mrs. Pink !!! visit here website and read the article.... http://www.mrspink.co.uk/guitarist19841.jpg ------------------------------ Subject: Sandstorm, TONY REMY!, FN, Singing From: "Jay Krause" Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 11:29:36 +0100 Was it really necessary to try and ostracise steve for wanting a copy of the Trash album?! I mean I myself wouldn't copy any of Mark's stuff myself, its not really fair on him, but come on the album was a bit of a rip off. It would have been far better just to ignore Steves plea than trying to shame him or something. Thats my thoughts on the matter, enough of that. On another note, where can I get the track Sandstorm? Does anyone know which b side its on? Has anyone heard of a guitarist called Tony Remy? I bought his album Boof a couple of years ago ina bargain bin, mainly because of the record label which I had known to create groovy songs in the past. I thought it was amazing, and after a lot of back ordering etc I managed to get all of his other albums. Has anyone else heard of him? He's an amazing guitarist, I think he played with old golden larynx himself Hamish Stuart (Who?) in London last year or something. Check him out though On the subject of the FN album, I feel that it was a great album, well put together and a sound which KINDA steered towards earlier level stuff, which is my favourite. My favourite track is Romance, ever since I got it on a b side on a cd single. I agree FN could have brought them back to the forefront, but I guess we know who we can thank. Does anyone remember level 42 being on the Fast Show? ON the subject of marks singing, we all know that he's not the best - he does make good use of his voice though, but I thought his brother Nathan sounded great singing his part on Lovegames, as on the Ohne Filter Video. Okay thats it for now Thanks Dale K PS Nick Smith - I finally finished Mr.Pink at last! :-) ------------------------------ Subject: I Feel Free From: Lars-Ove Larsson Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 12:47:45 +0200 Just another piece of info in this matter: Jack Bruce himself did a solo version of I Feel Free, which in 1986 was=20= featured in a commercial for Renault 21=2E I have the 7" single from this=20= occasion Lars
